This June 7, 1945, Lowell Tribune article about Floyd Duncan, Jr. (page 5, column 3), includes information on his brother Kenneth:
- Floyd Duncan, Jr. is improving from a broken limb he suffered when a horse he was riding slipped and fell over backwards on him. Floyd had just returned from the hospital six weeks ago after having a torn cartilage in his right knee treated, and in the fall, the same knee was injured again. When the cast is removed he will have to undergo an operation to repair the broken cartilage. His brother Kenneth, who has been discharged from the army on the point system, is assisting with Floyd's farm work. Kenneth, who was in Gen. Patton's 3rd Army, saw much active service overseas.
This July 12, 1945, Lowell Tribune article was found on page 1, column 4:
- Kenneth Duncan, who was discharged from the service recently after serving in the European theatre, has been a medical patient at Gary Methodist hospital the past week.
This Lowell Tribune article was found in the May 9, 1946, issue (page 6, columns 4-6):

- Lowell's snappy all-World War II ceremonial team from Post 101, pictured above, with Congressional Medal of Honor winner Kenneth Duncan acting as Sgt.-at-Arms, will officiate at initiation ceremonies next Wednesday evening at Bendix Aviation Post 284, South Bend. The mass initiation ceremony will be held in the huge John Adams high school gymnasium, which has a seating capacity of 3,000.
- The popularity of the Lowell team, the only one in the entire state composed entirely of World War II vets, has been increasing steadily since its formation a few months ago. Thus far they have initiared 493 new members into Posts at Hammond, Gary, Hobart, Rochester and Lake Village. This figure includes many boys initiated into their own Post.
- The team has been scheduled for work at Crown Point and Cedar Lake in the near future and will undoubtedly be in demand at Legion Posts throughout the state in the coming months.
