WAC Mother, Brother At His Side At Death In Cologne
Corporal Leslie Loveland, son of Irving Loveland, of Harrisonville, and WAC Sergeant Laura Loveland, stationed in Paris, died on April 20 in a hospital in Cologne, from injuries received on April 18 when a rocket he was decapping exploded.
Every effort was made to save his life following the amputation of a leg, physicians using thirty quarts of blood and two tanks of oxygen. His mother WAC Laura V. Loveland who worked in General Eisenhower's office and his brother, S/Sgt Freeman Loveland, also in Germany, were summoned and flown to his bedside and remained with him until his death.
Corporal Loveland went overseas in December 1943. He had been stationed in England, Belguim, Holland, France and Germany, and had a reunion and Christmas dinner with his mother and brother in Ireland in 1943.
Before he entered the service, announcement was made of his engagement to Miss Dorothy Hunt, formerly of Harrisonville and now of Bridgeport. Following his graduation from Woodstown High School, Cpl. Loveland worked at the DuPont Plant in Deepwater, NJ.
Cpl. Loveland was buried in Margraten Cemetery, in Holland, with his mother and brother, chaplain and some of his buddies present at the services.
