First Selectee Carl Erlebach Missing in North Africa
Sgt. Carl Erlebach the first Bath selectee to leave for the Army under the 1940 Selective Service Act has been reported missing in action in North Africa since January 28. The War Department telegram to his parents gave no details beyond the missing status, and the family hopes he is a prisoner of war as they await further information. Erlebach, 24, graduated Morse High School in 1937 and later worked at Bath Iron Works before entering service November 18. He earned sergeant’s stripes about a year ago after rapid training and has since served in Africa since the first contingents arrived, with letters home from Ireland, Scotland, and England.
