Technical Sergeant Russell R. Adams, 23 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Adams of Wappapello who gave his life for his country as a result of wounds received in action, in January.
He was survived by his parents, six sisters and three brothers.
His parents received a letter from Headquarters 330th Infantry, APO 83, U. S. Army and signed by R. T. Foster, Colonel, Infantry Commander:
"It is with deep regret that I confirm the death of your son, Technical Sergeant Russell R. Adams, 37132505, who died of battle wounds in Belgium on January 6, 1945."
Your son was wounded on January 6, 1945 and was immediately evacuated to an Evacuation Hospital. While the best that Medical Science has to offer could not save his life, you may rest assured that it mitigated his suffering.
I trust that it will be of some comfort to you in your hour of sorrow to know that your son fought honorably and gallantly, and that his supreme sacrifice has not been made in vain."
