Invasion Of France Stops
Fayette Girl’s Honeymoon
Sy Register Staff Writer
PAX — In World War 1 American soldiers were known to marry French and English and Scotch wives, but there’s a Pax girl, Lt. Corable Abshire, who married in England in World War II, and the invasion of France ended her honeymoon.
However, she married an American officer, Lt. A. A. Albano, of Philadelphia, her mother. Mrs. J. R. Abshire, announced here. The
marriage was celebrated in an old English church May 12, but their romance began when they met in Casablanca, December 24, 1942, Christmas Eve when they were both far from home.
They were fortunate enough to meet again in Bizerte, Tunis, and Sicily, so the girl wrote her mother, and again in England last November 26.
“Tony’s company commander, Captain Hargett, gave me away,” she wrote Mrs. Abshire. “His outfit made all the plans and everything. We were so far from there that it would have been impossible for us to help with any thing.”
“The altar was banked with flowers. The aisle was terrible long, I had a bridesmaid, Violet Belnak, my room mate, and her escort was from Tony’s place.”
She was in the first contingent of army nurses to land in France following the invasion, and since then she has ducked plenty of times into foxholes to escape enemy fire. Her group left England June 8, on her birthday, for France.
She trained at McKendree Emergency hospital and at Charity hospital in New Orleans. She went into the army nursing corps, April, 1942, trained at Fort Knox, and went overseas in April. One of her first patients in France was a boy from her home town, Orbit Ellison, who had been wounded—slightly, she was glad to report. The man she married is a graduate in chemical engineering.
