Conrad Helgeson Has Eight Battle Stars Conrad Helgeson, whose military service took him to eight different countries, still contends that the United States, Wisconsin, and home are best of all. He has arrived home from overseas, receiving his honorable discharge at Fort Sheridan on September 22nd. He has mentioned the primitive condition of the peoples of many of these countries with the oxen still used in much farm work. Conrad came through with eight battle stars, and eight campaigns during those thirty two months overseas without being wounded once. However, he did suffer four attacks of malaria. It was on June 24, 1942, that he entered service with his training beginning at Fort Bragg, Noth Carolina. He was later sent to Fort Meade, Maryland. On February 7, 1943, he left for overseas, going then to North Africa. He was at Casablanca, the Tunisian Campaign, participated in the Sicilian landing, was at Salerno, lower Italy, across the Volturno River up to the Casino front. They then moved back to prepare for the Anzio landing. He was at the Anzio Beachhead for four months and while there saw Russell Glasow, the only Valders or county soldier he met in his entire army service. While in this area he went to Rome and there visited the Vatican and saw the Pope. His group was then moved back to lower Italy to prepare for the invasion of southern France. They fought through southern France up to Strasbourg on the Rhine. They were then pulled down to the Colmar pocket, and here were cited with the Croix de Guerre by the Fench government and the U.S. Presidential citation. They then went into the Siegfried line, went through to Augsburg, Munich, Salsburg, Austria and were there when the war ended. Conrad enjoyed much going through Hitler’s noted hideaway, Berchesgarten. He was then with the troops of occupation in Austria during May, June and July. Transfer then came to Melsungen, Germany, where the troops remained for several weeks. Having enough points at this time he was transferred to the 69th homeward bound division.They left Le Havre, France, on September 7th and with a little stormy weather docked in New York seven days later. The usual time for the trip is six days. Conrad was in communications - radio - and then drove for the general of his artillary divison. When this general was transferred to the states he drove for the colonel of the division artillary. The strong ties that hold and bind together a group of fighting men was evidenced when Conrad suffered his first attack of malaria. This was at the time of the Sicilian campaign, and while he was still in the hospital, he learned his division (the noted 3rd) was to go into action - so Conrad secured his hospital release and rejoined his group. Twice when malaria attacks recurred he took treatment in his own unit in order to stay with his group. Conrad has the Good Conduct Medal, Distinguished Unit Badge, Croix do Guerre, Theatre ribbons, Bronze Service Arrowhead, 5 overseas bars, 1 Service stripe and the Driver and Mechanic’s Badge. He has eight battle stars, showing participation in the Tunisian campaign, Sicilain campaign, Naples Foggia; Rome-Arno; Southern France; Colmar; Rhineland and Central Europe. The engagement of Miss Doris Vetting to this young Valders soldier was announced by Miss Vetting’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vetting on April 5, 1942, and now with Conrad’s return the couple is planning their marriage for October 24th.
