Bertao Anthony 441020 p2
Missing Crows Landing Boy Now Listed as Killed; Crows Landing, Oct. 18.  --  All hope that Anthony Bertao, Crows
Landing soldier serving in Italy, might be a prisoner of war was dashed away Monday afternoon when a telegram reached
here from the War Department stating definitely that the youth had been killed in action. Listed As Missing -- Last week,
Anthony was listed as missing in action and, owing to the rapid changes in the combat area, there was a possibility that he
might still be alive.  But Tuesday's message brought the word that his body had been found. And so another Gold Star is
placed upon the township's service flag. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bertao, whose dairy ranch home is three miles east of
here, Anthony entered the service two years ago and was assigned to an infantry division which went overseas eight
months ago to be stationed in the Italian sector.
