Watch Lost on Guadalcanal Awaits Owner
A wrist watch without inscription lost by Memphis Marine Pfc. Leo J. Schneider Jr. during the Guadalcanal landing last January has returned home after a circuitous journey. Found in February by a Marine captain, it was handed to a Red Cross worker in San Francisco who traced it through the manufacturer, distributor, and jeweler to Schneider’s parents in Memphis. The watch, still in good condition, is saved for its owner who has unfinished business in the Pacific.
