     "Francis M. Olds
          "503rd Ordinance Company (tank) (HM)
"Francis was born and raised in Wilson. He graduated from High School in 1939. After he married Gladys Heinze, Aug. 9, 1941, they moved to Wichita, where he worked at Boeing for one and a half years.
"Francis’ dad, Frank David Olds, called him to let him know there was an article in the newspaper that said the Kansas Dealers Association was recruiting mechanics. Most of the mechanics at that time were out of work, due to the fact that new cars were not being manufactured anymore because of the war. The Kansas Dealers Association was forming a new company, needing mechanics to train for the Army to service vehicles.
"Francis and Gladys left for Topeka and signed up with the 503rd Ordinance Company (Tank) (HM) in the summer of 1942. There were a total of 105 men from Kansas. It would be their job to maintain, repair and modify the heavy equipment, weapons and vehicles.
"Other men were from Indiana and Ohio. Most of them were former mechanics, whereas others were farmers that had worked on farm machinery. A total of 205 men were part of the 503rd Ordinance Company. It was said at a later reunion that one of the officers admitted that when he first saw the men in his unit, he said to himself, "how are we ever going to win this war?"
"The 503rd Ordinance served with the Second Armored Division. This company was trained to maintain and repair battlefield damage on location instead of having them shipped out to be repaired. Mechanics of this type would actually travel with the army, but never before used in a war until World War II. Throughout the war, they were assigned to other divisions as needed. They served with the First Army until Oct. 22, 1944, and with the Ninth Army from Oct. 22, 1944 to June 15, 1945. On June 15, 1945, they were assigned to the Seventh Army.
"In September 1942, Francis was inducted into the army at Jefferson Barracks in Missouri, which is on the south end of St. Louis by the Missouri River. From there, they were transported by train to Camp Perry, Ohio, which is located next to Lake Erie. Most of the other men reported to Camp Perry in October, 1942, for basic training and engine and tank school."
This long article continues to detail Francis' experience in World War II and that of the 503rd but also includes this:
"In the summer of 1942, Gladys and her soon-to-be-born baby moved back to Wilson. The Olds’ first daughter, Peggy, was scheduled to arrive in December. Dr. McEvoy delivered Peggy Lynn Olds Dec. 21, 1942. Francis called home to check on Gladys and Peggy. He found out Peggy had arrived that morning. Francis then called his commanding officer, Capt. Nichols, for a pass to go home to see them."⁵
