Lela May Nichols
Doolen
of
Kinundy Township, Marion County, Illinois
Lela May Nichols, born 1920, Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois, daughter of Ankney David and Edith Louisa (IRVIN) NICHOLS.

On 28 May 1942, the Kinmundy Express has, "East Zion: Mr. and Mrs. Dresdon HEADLEY and Miss Lela Mae NICHOLS left last Friday night for a visit to Fort Riley, Kansas visiting Roy DOOLEN, who is stationed there."
On 11 Jun 1942, the Kinmundy Express has, "Mr. and Mrs. Hank NICHOLS of Kinmundy, announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Lela Mae NICHOLS, to Pvt. Roy DOOLEN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cleve DOOLEN. They were married May 28 in Junction City, Kansas, and were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Dresdon HEADLEY of Kinmundy."
On 29 Apr 1943, the Kinmundy Express has, "East Zion: Mrs. Roy DOOLEN, who has been in Texas with her husband the past 5 months, returned home Saturday. Her husband was moved to another camp in Texas."
On 17 Feb 1944, the Kinmundy Express has, "Here’s a letter from Lt. Roy DOOLEN, who is now seeing the sights through the fog of merry old England. He says: Years ago I would never have dreamed that The Kinmundy Express would have world wide distribution. But it has just that. Mine is getting over here at varied intervals. I never know which week’s paper to expect next. However, I enjoy them immensely and wish to express my appreciation for it. Even though the news is a month and a half old, it doesn’t seem that way to me. I can keep up with the hometown’s progress week by week. For the past couple of months I have been roaming around the little island called England. The whole country has basically the same typography, which is small rolling hills covered with grass or small grain. There are few trees in most parts. The fields are in 5 to 10 acre plots with a hedge fence. It is very pretty when the sun is shining. From above it looks like a pretty patchwork quilt. The people are as friendly as one could expect, when there are so many soldiers around. When you read about blackouts and fogs, they are not exaggerating a bit. I certainly never saw anything so dark as it can get here. Last week was notable for 2 things: I got my laundry back, which is a rarity over here; and the sun shone 1 day, an even greater rarity. At present I am going to school, a never ending process in the army. In another week I will be through and go back to living in the field again. I have no idea where my outfit is at present but will be able to contact them through our base camp. Then I will take my map in hand, catch up with the outfit and go back to my duties as Motor and Executive Officer of my troop. Well this is enough for the present. Keep the paper coming and thanks a lot."
On 12 Oct 1944, the Kinmundy Express has, "1st Lieutenant Roy G. DOOLEN writes: Never before in my life have I put so much work into such a short period of time, as I have in the last couple of months. My outfit has led this race, for Germany such as no outfit but the calvary can do. It has cost many lives, and as I look at the pretty green pine forests concealing the famed ‘Siegfreid Line", I realize it will cost many more lives to go on through to Berlin. But the American Army has pushed forward with such spirit that German troops turn and flee at the sign of them. On their own soil however, the German are a little tougher. My outfit got quite a writeup over here for being the first Americans in Paris. The city is very beautiful and gay in spite of the war. I could write many pages on the interesting things that have happed to me so far, but the same things are happening to thousands of other soldiers. The complete story will come out when we all get home and spin our yards in the old barber shop or on the street corner. I hope that won’t be too long. Your paper hasn’t caught up with me for quite a while. I sure miss it. It keeps me up to date on the home front. Here’s hoping it catches up with me soon. Best of luck to all at home."
On 7 Jun 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "Mr. and Mrs. G. C. DOOLEN have received word from their son, Roy, stating that he was promoted to the rank of Captain in the Calvary, on 16 May. He is with the Third Army in Germany."

DOOLEN, Cavalry, 102nd Cav. group mecz, United States Army for meritorious achievement in connection with military operations from 13 June 1944 to 8 May 1945 in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. As assistant S-2 and Liaison Officer, Capt. DOOLEN (then 1st Lieut.) Showed great devotion to duty, diligence and thorough application in all assignments. His voluntary undertaking and efficient performance of duties far in excess of those required of him assisted materially in the combat operations of his unit. Capt. DOOLEN’s achievement deserve unqualified praise." Capt. DOOLEN entered military service from Illinois, Jan. 13, 1942, has been overseas since Nov. 4, 1943. His wife, Lela M. DOOLEN who resides near Alma, just received the word that this award was made Aug. 13, 1945 at Dobrany, Czechoslovakia."
On 1 Nov 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "Capt. Roy DOOLEN arrived home last Saturday to again be with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cleve DOOLEN and his wife, the former Lela Mae NICHOLS. He is home on Terminal leave and after the expiration of this leave, will receive his discharge. Roy entered the service in January 1942. After taking his basic training and attending Officers’ Candidate School at Ft. Riley, Kansas, was commissioned 2nd Lieut. In October 1942. He was later promoted to 1st Lieut. In October 1942. He was later promoted to 1st Lieutenant at Camp Maxey, Texas, in Sept. 1943. He shipped overseas in November 1943, landing in England, where he was stationed until the invasion of France.
