BOBBY G. ALLEN
Army Specialist Four Bobby G. Allen, 27, whose wife Caroline lives at 933 Moore St., Huntingdon, Pa., recently participated with other personnel from the 1st Cavalry Division Artillery in Trooper Turnout III, a field training exercise in Korea.

Allen is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James D. Allen, Green Sa. S. C.
