WW2 Veteran :
War Correspondant for "Washington Star".
Noyes served in World War II as a volunteer ambulance driver with the American Field Service. When his tour of duty ended in Italy, he persuaded the Washington Star to accredit him as its war correspondent in the area. He wrote a most stirring article about the 117th Cav. He called them action : ″Shades of Jeb Stuart″ after the famous Confederate cavalry.
He covered the tortuous advance up the peninsula of the American Fifth Army, flew with the 15th Air Force on a historic bombing raid over Steyr, Austria, and accompanied British forces on a reconnaissance into Albania and in their entry into Athens. When the American Ninth Army invaded the south of France, Noyes was with a jeep-load of correspondents who, among other adventures, ''liberated'' the writer Gertrude Stein in the village where, unknown to the occupying Germans, she had lived throughout the war.
Noyes was in Rome when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Feeling he had missed out on a big story, the 26-year-old correspondent obtained an immediate interview with Pope Pius XII on the significance of that development. In the aftermath of the war, he attended and wrote about such events as the Nuremberg war crimes trial, various peace conferences and the Alger Hiss perjury trials.
As editor of the Star, Noyes retained his interest in covering history first-hand. In Vietnam, at the time of the 1968 Tet offensive, he flew into the besieged American fortress of Khe Sahn, gathered material for several dramatic stories and experienced, he later admitted, more close-up mortar fire in 48 hours than he had during all of World War II.
After war become editor of Washington Evening Star then The Noyes family co-owned The ″Washington Evening Star″ from 1867 to 1975.
Newbold Noyes, Jr. was the author of an interesting letter to President Richard Nixon in March, 1973. In the opinion of John Ehrlichman, if the president had responded differently, it could have been the catalyst for a different outcome for the Nixon presidency.
