Bantam, Connecticut. Ernest Gervais came to Bantam from Plainfield, Connecticut, a little town just outside New London. He operates a shaving machine at the Warren McArthur plant, while his younger brother runs a buffer. Two aunts, Alice and Regine Langevin, are upholsterers at the plant, while Regine's husband, Armand, operates a mechanical hammer. Alice Langevin was first to come to work at the Warren McArthur plant, in June 1941, and her two nephews followed her by a month. Shortly thereafter, Armand and Regine came from Albany, New York, where Armand was a machinist and Regine a dressmaker. Ernest goes into the Army in March 1942, with no complaints. "Wherever they think I'll do the most good," he says, "it's OK with me." Armand, a native of Montreal, was in the U.S. Army during World War I
