T-Sgt. Ray C. Gill Back From Overseas. Former Argus-Leader Employee in Foreign Service 2½ Years. After two and one-half years of overseas service which took him around the world, T-Sgt. Ray C. Gill, former Argus-Leader employee, is home for the first time in three years on a 21-day furlough. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Gill, 715 West Third St. Sgt. Gill, in personnel work with a headquarters office, left New York in July, 1942, and landed in Egypt the following month, three months previous to the African invasion and arrived at a California port this month. "The reception that we got upon arriving in this country is the greatest ovation a serviceman could be given," Sgt. Gill said. "I never appreciated the good old U.S.A. like I do now - just took it for granted before." Gill wears ribbons crediting him with participation in the Egyptian-Libyan, Tunisian, Sicilian, and Italian campaigns; Distinguished Unit Citation; and the Asiatic-Pacific and pre-Pearl Harbor ribbons. He has been stationed in India since February, 1944. He entered the service in June, 1941.
