Masters, Harry
June 22, 1913 - Jan. 7, 2006
Harry M. “Mitt” Masters, 92, decorated WWII veteran, passed away on Jan. 7 at Miles Memorial Hospital, Damariscotta. The son of Harry O. and Eva M. (Sherman) Masters, he was born June 22, 1913 in Round Pond.
Mitt attended grammar school in Round Pond, and then walked five miles daily to attend Bristol High School, graduating in 1931. While in high school Mitt spent his summers in a citizens’ military training camp in Portland. After high school he took Army extension courses in Bangor and became a second lieutenant, serving as a reserve officer. He was working at Bath Iron Works as a machinist when he was called to active duty in March 1942. He was sent to Fort Benning, Ga., where he trained as a paratrooper and was assigned to 505 Parachute Infantry, 2nd Bn. “D” Co, 82nd Airborne Division as platoon leader.
While still in training Mitt learned of his older brother’s death in a ship sunk by a German mine off Cape May, N.J., in June 1942. He surprised local residents when he jumped from a C-47 flying 600 feet over Round Pond, landing in what was then known as Len Murphy Field to attend his brother’s memorial service.
Mitt left with the 82nd Airborne Division for North Africa in April 1943. He made a combat jump into Sicily where he was wounded and received his first purple heart. He also received the Legion of Merit award for his parachute-loading plan, which proved to be a major administrative contribution to the success of the airborne attack on Sicily, inventing and constructing the special equipment needed to implement the plan. He continued to fight in Italy until November 1943 when his company was sent to England to prepare for the invasion of Normandy.
Mitt earned his second purple heart on June 6, 1944. In the early hours of D-Day Mitt parachuted into Normandy, landing in a cow pasture outside St Mere Eglise, France where he and others were separated from their unit. By the end of the day Mitt had been severely wounded and he and his men captured by German forces. They were rescued by American forces over a day later. Mitt was sent to a hospital in England to recover from his wounds and was well known for keeping the men in his ward in good cheer. Mitt was known to worry only about his mother and how she was doing while he was away in the service. Mitt continued to serve with the 82nd Airborne Division until December 1945 when he was discharged with the rank of Captain.
After leaving the service Mitt attended the University of Maine and obtained a degree in forestry, eventually moving to Washington State working as a scalar and surveyor for the Schaefer Logging Company; a job he loved until he was injured on a logging trip. He worked in Alaska for three years in a salmon cannery eventually going back to school to study accounting. He eventually landed a job with the Internal Revenue Service where he spent 21 years collecting taxes before he retired in 1978.
He was an active member of many organizations, including the Masons, Odd Fellows, The Grange, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He met and married the love of his life, Mildred (Mahan) Weeks Masters, late in life at age 70 in 1983. Together they traveled to Europe to attend both the 40th and 50th D-Day anniversary celebrations. He was a passionate
hunter and gun buff and held a national record in marksmanship. He loved and appreciated life. For many years he planted and tended a garden at his old family home in Round Pond.
In his own words on April 13, 2002, “How I lived through the war I do not know. My civilian life as a
hunter, forester, Revenue Officer and just plain citizen has been filled with many instances which brought me close to death. Only the Good Lord knows why I am still here waiting to join him.” He was greatly honored when he was chosen in 2001 to be the soldier to represent the State of Maine in the WWII memorial bronze sculpture housed in Branson, Mo.
Mitt was predeceased by his loving wife, and was the last surviving of his eight siblings.
He leaves his stepson, Gordon Weeks of Scarborough; six nephews, Richard and George Masters, both of Round Pond, Bruce Masters of New Jersey, William Masters of New Hampshire, Henry Colby of New York, and Edward Masters of Alabama; nieces, Lillian Masters of Alabama, and Nancy Masters of North Carolina; step-grandsons and their families; and many great nephews and nieces.
Friends and family may call from 12-2 p.m., Fri., Jan. 27 at Strong Funeral Home, where a service to honor Mitt will follow at 2 p.m. He will be laid to rest at the Maple Grove Cemetery, Round Pond, in the spring.
