Charles Jodrey, Jr. 1944

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jodrey received the sad information that their son, Charles, Jr., was killed in action in Italy on May 25th, 1944. Charles enlisted April 19, 1943, and went overseas in December of the same year. He was 21 years of age.

Besides his parents, he is survived by three brothers and two sisters, Roy and Oran, of Newburne; and Robert, at home; Mrs.Clarence Dexter, of Liverpool; and Mrs. James Carver, of Maplewood, besides many other relatives.

Another one has given his life for our sakes. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."


NOTE: "On May 23rd, the WNSR attack the Adolf Hitler Line at 4:30 pm. The Germans were well prepared, and from the West Novies, 50 were killed, 150 were wounded and 12 were taken prisoner.

After this battle was won, the WNSR went into a rebuilding stage. Near the end of July, they were secretly moved across Italy in preparation for the attack on the Gothic Line at the end of August."- Diana Lynn Tibert


Private Charles Jodrey and Private Vernon Ramey 1944 Bridgewater Bulletin

Parkdale-Maplewood New Column

Grief was spread over the community on Thursday when telegrams arrived telling of two of our local boys who gave up their live fighting in Italy. They were Private Charles Jodrey and Private Vernon Ramey. Private Jodrey was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jodrey, Maplewood and was 21 years of age. He enlisted in April, 1943 at Halifax and took his training at Aldershot and Yarmouth. He went overseas in November, 1943. A short time ago he was sent to Italy where he was killed in action on May 25. Besides his sorrowing parents, he is survived by two sisters, Marjorie (Mrs. Clarence Dexter), Brooklyn and Ruth (Mrs. James Carver), Brooklyn; also three brothers, Roy, Oran at New Burne and Robert, at home; also a host of relatives and friends by whom he was well liked.

With thanks to Rosemary Rafuse.
