Alvin Jones
Alvin was born in Spring City, PA on March 21, 1918.
After high school, he spent a year at Staunton
Military Academy in Staunton, VA, and graduated
from Gettysburg College in 1941. An ROTC member in
college, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a lieutenant,
and was assigned to the 327th Glider Regiment of the
101st Airborne Division. During training in England and
Scotland he was promoted to Captain. He participated
in D-Day, Operation Market-Garden in Holland, which
was the largest airborne operation in the history of the
war, and was given a battlefield promotion to Major.
During the Battle of Bastogne, when the Americans
were surrounded by the advancing Germans, he had
the distinction of taking the German surrender demand
to 101st commander, General Anthony McAuliffe, and
delivered McAuliffe’s famous “Nuts!” reply back to the
German emissaries. He retired from the Army after
WW2 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Alvin’s father and step-mother were both antique
collectors, and the love of antiques was inherited by
Alvin. Alvin started his own collecting during the war
in England and France, and continued to collect his
entire life. After the war he became vice president of
Jones Motor Company, based in Spring City, and in
1968 he retired from the trucking business and became
vice president of WARE Inc., a commercial real estate
company in Pottstown, PA. Alvin met his wife, Jean, at
Gettysburg, and they married soon after his enlistment.
They spent the next thirty years together, traveling
around the USA and the world collecting antiques.
Alvin was a 32nd degree Mason in Greenleaf Lodge 561
in Allentown, PA and was a board member of the Lehigh
County Historical Society.
He died on May 24, 1998.
