Charles Warf received his
"Greetings..." letter presumably in early October 1942 as he enlisted on
the 10th of that month. The date of this registration card is
unknown but based on his age versus birth date, must have been at some
point in 1941,
His occupation upon
enlistment was "Machinist". In that period, the textile mills of
North Carolina were a strong employer (note that his mother's employer
was Carter Fabrics Corp.) so Charles probably was familiar with large
sewing or knitting machines. That background made him a likely
candidate for the Parachute Maintenance Section which he was assigned to
in Frankfurt. He may have sewn many of the white scarves worn by
the Honor Guard. |
