Clifford Franzke loses an arm at Quentin Battle Clifford Franzke, son of William Franzke, of Pukwana, was with the American troops in the drive against the Hindenburg line in the late summer of 1918. He was wounded in the drive against St. Quentin, and after his return to America was placed in the recon-struction hospital at Fort Snelling, Minn. Franzke was inducted Into the service last spring and was in active fighting servjce before July. He Is a full-blooded German himself, but he was one of the men who helped stop the German rush toward Paris in the middle of the summer. He is 24 years old. Because of the severity of his wound his arm was amputated. Cuts off finger to get into army One of the heroes of the war is Fay Clark, who recently returned to his home in Bison, Perkins county, after serving with other South Dakota soldiers in France. Early in the war, young Clark tried to enlist in Minneapolis but was rejected because one of the fingers on his right hand was crook-ed. He did not propose to let a little thing like that, stand in the way of his doing his "bit for Uncle Sam, so he went to a surgeon's office and had the crooked finger amputated. He then went back to the recruiting office and was accepted. Leo Clark, a brother, was killed in action during the war. The husband of one of their sisters was shot through the hips and paralyzed, and now is recovering in a military hospital in the east. Thus the family has a very creditable war record. |
