Pfc. Aubrey L. "Punch" Horner, 25, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Horner, LeGore, has been killed in action in the Pacific, the War Department has notified his parents by telegram. The brief message said only that Pfc. Horner lost his life April 2.
Since the last letter received by relatives was dated March 28 from the Philippines, it was assumed that Pfc. Horner was killed during the fighting in that area. He was a member of an Army Engineers outfit.
Pfc. Horner enlisted in the Army January 23, 1940, and was stationed at Fort Belvoir, Va., for about three years. After leaving there he was at various other camps, leaving Camp Pickett, Va., for overseas duty in March, 1944.
In Hawaii he met his brother, Sgt. James Horner, also serving overseas, for the only occasion they were together after they went into the service.
