David Jones adds the name of Pvt. First Class Due William Turner, of Emerson, to the Veterans Memorial Monument on the Courthouse Square in downtown Magnolia Friday afternoon. Turner was among 11 African-American soldiers — members of the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion — massacred by the SS in Wereth, Belgium on Dec. 17, 1944. Through local efforts, his name was added today to the monument. Turner is buried in Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in France. He received the Purple Heart. (Magnolia Banner-News/Dan Marsh)
