Obituary
PVT. ARLEY CENTERS
The War Department on July 31 sent the following letter to Mrs. Mary J. Centers, City: Dear Mrs. Centers: It is with regret that I am writing to confirm the recent telegram informing you of the death of your son, Pvt. Arley Centers, 35.636.157. Infantry, who was killed in action on July 7, 1944 in France. I fully understand your desire to learn as much as possible regarding the circumstances leading to his death and I wish that there were more information available to give you. Unfortunately, reports of this nature contain only the briefest details as they are prepared under battle conditions and the means of transmission are limited. I know the sorrow this message has brought you and it is my hope that in time the knowledge of his heroic service to his country, even unto death, may be of sustaining comfort to you. I extend to you my deepest sympathy. Sincerely yours, J. A. Ulio. Major General The Adjutant General Paintsville Herald Thursday 17 Aug 1944
