Mr and Mrs. Isidore J. Cunningham of DeKalb Junction received on Thursday a telegram from the War Department at Washington informing them that their son, Robert Cunningham, was reported killed in action in France on Nov 15. In September Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham received a telegram from the War Department that their son was missing, to later learn that he had been located.

He served at Camp Swift, Texas, Camp George Meade, Md., and on going over seas was stationed in Northern Ireland until a few days of D-Day and went to France with the invading army on D-Day.

James Cunningham, was reported wounded in Germany about a month ago in action and in a hospital; Pfc. John Cunningham, now at the theater of war in Belgium and Pfc Daniel Cunningham who arrived at England the past month.
