The boys will stay in camp for thirty days.Charles A. Buckley of Lowell was listed in an April 22, 1943, Lowell Tribune article (page 1, column 3) as having completed a seven day furlough following induction. The article further added: "Archie Buckley also is serving for the second time, having served one enlistment in the navy a few years ago."
The following article was found in the April 29, 1943, Lowell Tribune on page 2, column 2:
- Last week, in an article about the latest men leaving for service, we stated that Archie Buckley had served one enlistment term in the navy. As this is Archie's first experience in any branch of service, we were immediately notified of our error. We don't remember how we arrived at that impression, but nevertheless we dud, so we're apologizing for the misstatement.
