Field Jacket Finds Way Home

Kansas City, November 1. Adam I Rider, a 39 year old Kansas City carpenter, bought a field jacket at an army surplus store but says he will not wear it. The jacket was issued when he joined the army in August 1943 and bears his name in indelible ink. Rider kept it until going overseas in March 1944, later leaving it at Sedalia army air field near Knob Noster, Missouri after training. He was wounded by a sniper in New Guinea in July 1944 and plans to keep the relic, believing it belongs with his family.
