Lynn Bensinger Lynn Bensinger of the Liberty Food Lockers served for more than two years in World War I, including four months in France, so he knows what it is all about "over there." His son, Robert Bensinger, was with the 410th Infantry for more than a year. Then he suffered a serious back injury during maneuvers and received a medical discharge. Robert has tried to re-enlist and when rejected by the Army sought to enter the Merchange Marine which likewise considered his injury too serious for further service. Lynn Bensinger says: "I am buying bonds because even though my son cannot give further military service we want to help the boys who are over there." Mr. Bensinger has two nephews overseas, one in England when last heard from, and one in Italy.
