Lt. Forrest Milburn Hobrecht, first Dallas casualty reported from the Philippines in World War II, will be reburied at 2 p. m. Friday in Restland Memorial Park.
The Rev. W. A. Criswell will officiate at the graveside services and an honor guard will render military rites.
Hobrecht was an Air Corps pursuit pilot stationed at Nichols Field when war began. He was shot down over the field on December 10, 1941, a few days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
He was a graduate of North Dallas High School and was a student at Southern Methodist University when he enlisted in September 1940.
Hobrecht was considered an actor of unusual promise by leaders of the Dallas Little Theater. He had taken part in a number of productions and during the 1939-40 season took the part of Strato in the modern dress version of "Julius Caesar." His last appearance at the Maple Avenue playhouse was as Wint Selby in Eugene O'Neill's "Ah Wilderness."
He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hobrecht of 5322 Vanderbilt; a brother, Capt. A. P. Hobrecht of Fort Knox, Kentucky; and two sisters, Mrs. C. M. Falconer, of Irving and Mrs. G. A. Clayton of Columbus, Georgia.
pallbearers will be Louis Craig, allen Craig, Clyde Wyatt, T K Pierce, Raymond Campbell, and Ulmer J. Newman.
