PLEASE READ.............

Veterans of the 385th Bomb Group formed an association years ago. This group is known as:

"385th Bombardment Group Association"

Today - with a decline in the original Veteran's population - the group is seeking new members to carry on the memories of that time during WW II, when Great Ashfield was home to so many Americans - fighting for FREEDOM. Many 385th Veteran's relatives - and people interested in the memories - have joined the group. Membership in the 385th BG Memorial Association comes with a subscription to and exposes one to read and share thoughts in the newsletter, "HARDLIFE HERALD". ( Hardlife was the Great Ashfield tower radio call name )

YOU are invited to join - dues are Thirty-five dollars ( American ) per year. Please write =
