For December 19:

"Lt. Walker sneaked into the island of Bruc and brought ten men from a B-24 crew out safely. The bomber crew was forced down in Yugoslavia--all were injured but able to be brought back to Italy.
The men were:
1st Lt Henry F Curry
Ist Lt Hollis Sisk
2nd Lt Edward D Jenkins
2nd It Howard K Athey
S Sgt Joseph E Weber
S Sgt Alvan G Flodine
S Sgt George C Holum
S Sgt Charles W McCann
S Sgt Thomas W Wynne
S Sgt E. Miller

All were from the 757 Bomb Sq of the 304 (sic) Bomb Gp."
(Note may have confused 459th BG with 304th Bomb Wing. The 459th was in the 304th BW.)
(Couple of variations in name spelling also)
