Flag Shown in Martinsburg

Herald of July 26, 1945

A large German flag which was made to fly over New York City when the Stars and Stripes would be pulled down, once the Germans captured the American metropolis, was shown in Martinsburg. The flag belonged to Sgt. Robert Wade Cherry, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Cherry of Baltimore. The soldier and his parents were visiting at the home of the young man’s siste, Mrs. Charles Nier, and husband, who lived in the Wagner apartments on North Market Street.
