Purvis and Ambrose Among Soldiers Wounded in France, 1918

“Wounded in France,” The Enterprise, Williamston, Martin County, N.C., November 1, 1918

News has been received by relatives saying that Sargeant Whit Purvis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jule Purvis, had been badly wounded in the right shoulder and is in an Australian hospital located in Belgium, but hopes to be transferred soon to England and from there probably to America.

Mr. J.T. Ambrose was notified by the war department that his son, Mr. Jesse Ambrose, had been slightly wounded in action.

We regret very much to hear of these two young men being wounded. They were well known in town and county and had a great number of friends who sympathize with the boys and loved ones in their hours of uncertainty and suspense.
