It is presumed by his parents that he is recovering satisfactorily from his wounds because a letter has been received from him stating that he has been transferred to a hospital in England. Although he didn't say anything regarding the action in which he was wounded, or the extent of his injuries, he did manage to write the letter. He said he was getting the best of care.
Sgt. Huebsch, 31, a graduate of Lowell high school with the class of 1931, starred in both football and wrestling. Following graduation, he was engaged in farm work, and prior to entering service, was employed at the Gary mills.
He entered service when the pre-war compulsory training was started and was released the first of December, 1941, just before Pearl Harbor, and was not recalled until the fall of 1942. After undergoing training with the glider infantry in several camps here, he was shipped overseas several months ago and has since seen action with the glider troops along the German border.
