    1. [WIPierce] Deloris Buckley
    2. >From scrapbook in possession of the Pierce County Historical Association (please note, I am just posting, I have NO further info on this family) Newspaper is possibly the Spring Valley Sun, date unknown. 1ST LT. DELORIS BUCKLEY 1st Lieutenant Deloris Buckley, Army Nurses Corps, came home last week, after having been overseas with the 95th Evacuation hospital since in March of 1943. To tell the story of her travels is to follow the course of the war in Europe from the time our troops landed at North Africa, until the victorious troops swarmed into Germany. Deloris has the Purple Heart for wounds received when her hospital was bombed by the Germans at Anzio. She has had the hospital ship in which she was travelling bombed at Salerno. She lived in tents right next to the front lines for months on end-in the heat of a dessert (sic), the thistles of the Southern France beachhead, the snow of the Alps. She has shown great devotion to her chosen profession-nursing-by going on when it was her privelege (sic) to have quit and returned to the States. It is her kind of help that has made the record of medicine in the war so brilliant in its successes. Lieutenant Buckley came home-to where her parents live, Prescott-but Spring Valley vicinity claims her, for it was here she grew up, went to school and from here she made her choice to enter (rest of article cut off).
