    2. RChory
    3. I found the following newspaper clipping in a deceased relative's Bible, but I have no further information. Hope it helps someone. Ann Sgt. Henry M. (Buck) Huff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ebb Huff of Lou- don, was killed in action in Luxem- bourg on February 8, according to a wire received by his family Wed- nesday. Sgt. Huff had seen a lot of action, and on December 3, had been wounded while fighting with the Third Army in Germany. He had been hospitalized and fully re- covered from the wounds and re- turned to duty. He wrote recently about being back at the front, but the letter was not dated. Sgt. Huff was one of the bravest men in his outfit, leading his pla- toon on attacks on the enemy. He is exceptionally well liked in Lou- don, and his making the supreme sacrifice is the subject of both great pride and great sorrow. Sgt. Huff has another brother, Lt. William E. Huff, who has seen ser- vice in the European theatre of op- erations. One brother, Pvt. Bob Huff, was killed in a training ac- cident at H__ington, Texas, Oct. 15, 1943.
