Description

Seventh Day Adventists generally were misunderstood when they refused to bear arms and sought to keep the Sabbath holy during the World War. But the Adventists are as patriotic as anyone, so the denomination has organized medical units to train its young men for active service on the battlefield, ministering to the sick and wounded. One such corps now is drilling at Southwestern Junior College at Keene. Three West Texans (left to right) Robert Dieter, Dimmitt, Texas; B. D. Fortner, Happy, Texas and Delbert Dieter, Dimmitt, Texas study a chart on front-line combat methods. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram evening edition, January 3 1941.
