TRIBUTE TO BOB HUGHES FROM INFANTRY 

Already the possessor of the Bronze Star Medal and two Oak Leaf 
clusters, Lt. Col. Bob Hughes, Apache army officer, has been 
highly recommended for the Legion of Merit. 

Commanding the 915th field artillery battalion in various 
engagements in the European theatre, so efficient was his outfit 
in support of the 359th infantry that infantry officers are 
unanimous in their praises for the accuracy of fire from Colonel 
Hughes' organization. 

As an example of the confidence in their uncanny accuracy, front 
line troops never hestitated to call for fire as close as 50 
yards. 

The confidence paid huge dividends in dead Germans and repulsed 
counterattacks the recommendation stated. 

According to the records, the 359th had the reputation of never 
relinquishing any ground once taken and the artillery support was 
hugely responsible, it stated. Throughout the campaigns from the 
landing of the 90th division at Normandy, the pursuit across 
France; the capture of Metz, the Saar river; the elimination of 
the Bastogne bulge, the battle of the Ardennes and the breaking 
of the Siegried line and ending with the combat team still in 
contact in Czechoslovakia on V-E day, the 915th was rated 
outstanding. 

The recommendation further stated that disregarding his own 
safety on many occasions, Colonel Hughes personally visited 
forward positions with the AT platoon of the 359th infantry. 

It was before his promotion from major to lieutenant colonel that 
he was wounded while supervising liaison officers. Several weeks 
in a hospital failed to dampen his spirit and he was continually 
on the alert to improve the various units under his command. 

His military career had its origin at the University of Oklahoma, 
where he received a degree in pharmacy in 1932. Leaving the 
university with the rank of second lieutenant in the ROTC he was 
employed as a druggist for some time, later engaging in stock 
raising west of Apache. He kept in close contact with military 
affairs by attending national guard encampments and through 
correspondence. 

In 1940 he was made a first lieutenant at Fort Sill and assigned 
to the 1st field artillery and promoted to captain at Fort 
Leonard Wood, Mo. in 1942. It was at Camp Barkeley, Texas, that 
was given his major's leaf and assgned to the 915th field 
artillery of the 90th division. After several months of desert 
maneuvers near Indio, Calif., this organization went overseas in 
January, 1944. 

Lt. Colonel Hughes' father resides at Cement, while his wife and 
son, Jimmie, live at Apache. 

HUGHES, AMM 3c JOHNNY G., USN, 21, is the son of Mrs. Lecia 
Hughes of Binger. He enlisted in the navy November 5, 1942 and 
received his boot training at San Diego, Caif. He graduated from 
the naval aviation school at Norman as a machinist mate, third 
class, June 5, 1943. He was sent to the west coast where he 
served as a naval police officer before going overseas in October 
of 1943. He graduated from high school at Texico, N.M. in 1941 
and was employed as a motor parts salesman at LaPorte, Texas 
before entering the armed services.
