HAROLD ZIMMER DIES OF WOUNDS
Hammond Times, November 30, 1943
Word was received here today that Ensign Harold "Red" Zimmer, former coach in all sports at George Rogers Clark high school, Hammond, and onetime football star at In- diana university, died Thanksgiving day as a result of accidental gunshot wounds sustained while on duty with the Atlantic fleet.
How he suffered the wounds aboard a United States destroyer was not revealed.
News of Ensign Zimmer's death was tele- graphed by his widow, Mrs. Lois Zimmer, who now lives in Indianapolis, to R. B. Miller, principal of Clark, Zimmer served as assistant coach at the local school during the fall of 1941 and the spring of 1942, when he resigned.
Zimmer, who was extremely popular with both Clark students and faculty members, is the first of more than a score of former Calu- met area athletic coaches now in the armed forces to be killed in action.
While attending Indiana university, Zim- mer excelled as football halfback and as a scholar to such an extent that he was awarded the Big Ten conference medal given annually to the athlete who best combines his athletic prowess and scholarship. Small for the half- back position he played on Indiana's varsity grid squad, Zimmer distinguished himself by a "jackrabbit" type of field running. He graduated from the university in the spring of 1941, coming to Hammond a few months later.
He was employed by an Indianapolis war industry until early this year when he entered naval training at Northwestern university. He had been on active duty for a month.

Lt. C. E. Linkewiscz of Calumet City Misses Death on Tarawa
Hammond Times, December 12, 1943
A Calumet City marine veteran of Guadal- canal and the Gilbert island campaign-who missed death by an inch on Tarawa when a Jap bullet ploughed through his left cheek just below his eye-returned to Pearl Harbor this week to relate a stirring story of the ferocity of the battle in the south Pacific.
He is Second Lt. Casimir E. Linkewicz, 26, whose widowed mother, Pauline, lives at 666 Hirsch street, Calumet City. Linkewicz's ac- count of the battle for Tarawa was recounted in a war correspondent's dispatch from Hawaii yesterday. In the story, Lt. Linkewicz was reported as anxious to get back into the battle to settle scores with the Japs.
The Calumet City marine, who led a rifle platoon onto the tiny atoll on the Gilbert islands, went into action the second day of the battle. Carrying extra drinking water and ammunition, his group dug in for the night at the Jap's right flank, which was brightly lighted by American bombs which started fires.
Linkewicz told the correspondent he be- came angered when his men suddenly began firing on the Japs in disobeyance of orders but that his platoon couldn't resist the temptation of Japs silhouetted against he flames.
"They stopped when I ordered them to, however, and used their bayonets instead," Linkewicz said. "Just before daybreak a Jap plane came over and killed some of our boys with bombs.
"Later in the day I took a platoon to the west end of the beach in a vain search for re- ported snipers. On the way back I was hit. Luckily the stretcher-bearers had a stretcher ahead of the line. While they were carrying me-and beefing about my 180 pounds-Jap riflemen opened up, so they had to drag me by the leg. They had a hell of a time getting me out. Of the six who carried me out, all but two were killed later."
Linkewicz ran a tavern in Calumet City following the death of his father, Joseph, but five years ago took a job in a steel mill. He joined the marines nearly four years ago. He also served 14 months in Iceland and on Guadalcanal. A brother, Stanley, 24, is a naval ensign.

POSTLEWAITE FAMILY HAPPY
Hammond Times, December 16, 1943
The cup of happiness overflowed in the Sam M. Postlewaite family, 30 Midway court, to- day when a mailman brought them a long longed-for letter from their son, Pfc. Sam Postlewaite, Jr., from the bloody Tarawa sec- tor of the Gilbert islands, stating he was safe.
Concern for the safety of their son has been felt by the father, advertising manager of The Hammond Times and the boy's mother ever ever since press accounts told of the assault on Tarawa and the heavy casualty list the ma- rines suffered in the landing and the death toll in wrestling the jungle stronghold from the Japs.
Young Postlewaite's letter stated that he was safe, the "island was secure, but we might be here for some time."
"Tarawa is a typical tropical island just a3 you always see in the movies," the young ma- rine wrote.
The youth took part in the heavy Tarawa offensive and the landing amidst a barrage of Jap machine gun fire, artillery shells and snip- ers' bullets.
Sam indicated in his letter written Nov. 26th that he could not write again for some time and wished his folks a "Merry Christ- mas!"
"The letter of our boy's safety is the best Christmas gift we ever got," the parents as- serted today.
Incidentally, the Postlewaites have another son, Ernie, who is based at San Antonio, Tex.
