3 Davenport Men Reported Hurt in Overseas Service
Sgt. Kademan, Lt. Tenenbom, Pfc. Rockwell Are Listed as Casualties
Three Davenport men have been wounded or injured over-seas, one comparatively seriously was reported today.
Tech. Sgt. Robert Kademan, whose wife, Mrs. Janet Money Kademan, lives at 325 East Seventh Street, received a sniper's bullet that penetrated both legs while he was advancing with his regiment in Normandy. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kademan, 931 State Street, Bettendorf, and a brother of Pfc. Jack Kademan, recently reported missing in Italy.
The other two injured were First Lt. Harold N. Tenenbom, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Tenenbom, of 1914 Bridge Avenue, who was said to have been "slightly injured" in action in Italy June 30, and Pfc. Charles W. Rockwell, reported "slightly wounded" in action in France July 3.
Lt. Tenenbom is a cousin of First Lt. Harold Tenenbom, Little, Rock, Ark., who was reported July 13 to have been killed in a plane crash off Myrtle Beach, S. C. Because their names where the same many persons here gained a first impression that it was the Davenport flier who had died.
Promoted Since Injury
Apparently substantiating the report that Lt. Tenenbom was only slightly injured is the fact that mail has been received from him since the date of his being hurt, as well as word that he was promoted from a second to first lieutenant.
Lt. Tenenbom is a navigator on a heavy bomber. A graduate of Davenport high school, he received his silver wings and commission as a navigator Oct. 7, 1943, at San Marcos, Tex.
