Carl Pentecost

It was July 31, 1945, when the next article appeared in the local paper. This article described Howard meeting up with his brother, Pfc. Carl Pentecost, who had been overseas for the last nine months seeing action in the First U.S. Army. It seems that Carl had gone AWOL to travel to Howard’s location. And Howard recalled them being together for a few days until Howard borrowed a vehicle and returned Carl to his unit.

Fortunately for Carl, the war had ended and he apparently received no severe penalty, as some had received for desertion of their post of duty. The newspaper article mentioned another brother, Pvt. Lewis Pentecost, who was assigned to Camp Lee, Va.
