The Temple Family Old 75 School Boy with mark over his head is Fred Coleman Rudy, Arkansas 1903 or 1904 The Temple Family 1/6 “They was coming in for me. They pulled up, screeched to a halt out in front, these double doors leading out to the city hall, they burst through there, and one of them had a burp gun, the other one of them had a Mauser, that’s right, with a bayonet on the end of them. They swarmed in there, he took that burp gun and charged it right in my stomach, he charged it and looked me straight, and I know they got behind me and see if I had a weapon, and I didn’t. And then he hit me in the back with the butt of his rifle, from here to there, up the wall I went hurt, it hurt little bit. And then I got up. They put me in this sidecar. And one drove the motorcycle, and the other of them stood with the burp gun behind me, stood behind me. And we went, it was getting dusky; late, we went all night. It was in the dark on that motorcycle sidecar.” From: Crawford County Veterans Speak – (Warren Taylor interview, page 140). “From there we went to the Philippine islands, and because we had the rockets on our ship, we went around the different islands firing where the people in intelligence believed the enemy was still located, and fired rockets into caves and other areas, but mainly caves where they were located, where they were dug in. The war had not been ended yet. We didn’t encounter any fire there, but we did a lot of firing into those caves and things.” From: Crawford County Veterans Speak - (Col. Weldon Ramey, page 134) Crawford County Friends of Genealogy Are you seeking fellow enthusiasts passionate about genealogy? Join the Crawford County Friends of Genealogy!
