CPL. ALFRED BLACK KILLED IN KOREA
Mrs. W. M. Adams has been informed that her son, Corporal Alfred Dean Black, was killed in Korea on February 10, 1951, Corporal Black was 19 years old.
Since learning of her son's death, Mrs. Adams has received the following letter from Pfc. A. W Hendrick's, a comrade of her son.
Dear Mrs. Adams:
This will be rather difficult for me to write and explain. First I'll explain myself. In regard to a request by your son, Corporal Black, I am writing you. I was with him all the time after he joined my company on January 23, 1951, until he was killed in action on the 10 February, 1951. He asked me to write you and tell you just what happen to him.
"He knew or told me, that he was going to be killed in that attack. He died suddenly, and did not suffer. I was wounded the next day myself." "Don't worry, Mrs. Adams, as he died not in vain. It was for a worthy cause. The lives and blood we G. I."s shed in Korea is for a very worthy cause. With God's help we will win and be happy and free."
Upon closing, I wish to express my deepest sympathy. Wishing you the best of everything in the world and may happiness always be yours. God Bless you and always watch over you. You have paid for liberty and happiness.
