Case File: Theodore W. Haley (1944)
[Notes: Transcribed from clip provided by Kim McIntosh. Upon further review of Morning Reports from LaJunta, this appears to be a soldier named Pvt Herbert Wilson, service #34841756, he was admitted to the hospital with meningitis on Feb 10, 1944 and died on Feb 14. Pvt Wilson served in the 346th Aviation Squadron, A.C., so was listed in separate morning reports from Theodore W. Haley.]
Soldier Who Had Meningitis Dies
One case of spinal meningitis had isolated an entire squad at the La Junta Army Air Field last week, but all men except those in the particular barracks involved were expected to be back on duty today, responsible sources revealed this morning.
The colored solider who had contracted the disease died.
