Excerpts from, San Gabriel Valley News, Four Haight Brothers Serve With Army as Lieutenants, by Louise Flint, 12 Aug 1944
“Four Brothers 27 to 34 years of age. All four in a different branch of the Army. . . . Three of them on duty overseas. One holder of the Purple Heart. This is the enviable record of the Haight brothers, sons of Mrs. Elsie F. Haight, . . .
The oldest of the quartet, Leslie, 34, is a second lieutenant with the parachute troops and is stationed in New Guinea. He was also a graduate of UCLA where he took a law course.
In 1935 he joined the Monterey Park Police Department and after a year there went to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s office and is now on military leave from that organization. . . .
He enlisted in July 1942 and like his brother Fletcher worked up through the ranks. He would have finished his course sooner but in April 1943, while making his second jump, he broke his leg and this delayed his training several months. . . . ”
