Wurster Home On Leave From The ‘Army’s Navy’

"People don't know whether I’m in the Army or the Navy," Robert F. Wurster complained with a smile. "But in reality I'm in the Army's Navy." By way of explanation the public relations office reports that the Army has one of the biggest fleets in the world, Wurster said.

A member of the Army Transportation Corps, Wurster is a junior third officer. Home on a two-week leave, he was able to spend his 30th birthday with his wife and two children, Ernie, four-and-a-half, and Robert, 18 months old, in his home at 1203 Paul St.

After his vacation the marine officer will return to Charleston, S. C., to,stand by for probable duty on a hospital ship. He first entered the maritime service last September and took his initial seaman's training at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., after which he attended Army Transportation Corps Marine Officer’s school—the maritime school for the Army—at St. Petersburg, Fla. He has just completed further training at the Army school at New Orleans.

The son of Mrs. Emma Wurster, he is a graduate of University High school and Michigan State Normal College.
