*'Larry Neil Phillips completed his basic training at Ft McClelland with HONORS, resulting in his being selected for specialized training at City College, Los Angeles. Before this assignment could be completed, an overseas emergency situation necessitated his being reassigned, together with a group of other selectees, to Camp White for specialized Anti-Tank training.
