  «b»From the Winona Republican Herald, May 2, 1944, p. 8: HARVEY— Ernest Fletcher Harvey, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Harvey, 520 Johnson street, was recently graduated from the aviation radio school at the U. S. Naval Air station , Jacksonville , Fla., and was promoted to private first class in the marine corps. He received his recruit training at San Diego Calif., after entering service July 23, 1943. From the Winona Republican Herald, 22 January 1946, page 8: "Phelps school and Teachers college bring to mind that a former Filipino student at the local college was found by Sergeant Fletcher Harvey, U. S. marine corps, now home on leave, to be the leader of a group of guerrilla fighters in the Philippines. Sergeant Harvey met the student while in the Philippines, where the Winona sergeant took part in the campaign. The former Filipino student had led a band of guerrillas during the Jap occupation and after the landing of U.S. forces had been engaged with his band in patrol and mopplng-up work. He inquired of the college and of Winona. Sergeant Harvey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest F. Harvey, is on terminal leave after 32 months of service. He trained at Jacksonville, Fla., Quantlco, Va, Cherry Point, N.C. and San Diego before going to the South Pacific. His last assignment was on Kwajaleln. He will report at Cherry Point following his leave. He wears the American theater, Philippines Liberation and Asiatic-Pacific theater ribbons with one battle star, the presidential citation ribbon and the Victory medal. En route from Pearl Harbor, he learned that James Mourning, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Mourning, was stationed on Johnson island and during the refueling of the plane on which he was a passenger on that island, looked Mourning up for a visit."«/b» [7]
