Olywn J. Trask - Battle of Jacinto Gloucester Telegraph, dated Wednesday, July 13, 1836 "Died, In Texas, Olywn J. Trask, son of Hon. Israel Trask, of this town, aged about 20. [Communicated} The painful intelligence of the death of Mr. Trask reached Boston on Wednesday. He died from a wound received in a skirmish with the Mexican cavalry. This event is the source of the deepest sorrow to his bereaved family, and of the most melancholy regrets to this friends. He was much beloved by his college companions, and upon hearing of his melancholy death, they immediately took measures for paying proper respect to their deceased friend. Young Trask was endowed with more than ordinary abilities. He was of a generous and ardent temperament, strong in his feelings, kind and true to this friends, and possessed of many of the noblest sentiments of the heart. Although he died far from his home and friends, yet it is hoped that some sympathising comrade soothed his dying moments, by offices of kindness and love." Gloucester Telegraph, dated Wednesday, July 20, 1836 An article that is attributed to the Boston Altas: "From the Boston Atlas: "Died, at Galveston Island, Texas, Mr. Olwyn J. Trask, youngest son of Hon. Israel Trask, of Gloucester, Mass, aged 21 years. Mr. T. went to Texas in the pursuit of business, and to visit some connexions resident there, when he was induced, by the natural impulse of his own generous feeling, to offer his services to the Commander-in-Chief, as a Volunteer in a Regiment of Dragoons. On the 20th of April, the day preceding the great battle of Jacinto, he was one of the 90 under Col. Shearmen, who made an attack on a part of the Mexican Army, when he received a mortal wound. The following extract of a letter from New Orleans, furnishes some interesting particulars. The writer says, -- "I called on Gen. Houston yesterday, to ascertain particulars relative of Olwyn J. Trask; he says that he lies dangerously wounded at the Fort on Galveston Island. His thigh was broken in a charge made by 90 of our Calvary, on about 250 Mexicans, on the 20th of April, in which he behaved most gallantly; He fell from his horse when the ball struck him, but was instantly seen again in supporting himself on one leg by his horse, and had the satisfaction to kill the man who shot him. This was confirmed by one of the Aids of Gen. H. then present, who remarked that he was in a position to see the whole of it. He said that after Olwyn had laid the man dead at his feet, he sprang on his horse again, in the midst of the enemy's Calvary, (his own Corps having retired) and immediately urging him to this utmost speed, cutting his way through their ranks, and brandishing his sword at every thing that opposed him, when, as the Aid remarked, they seemed to open for him to pass, and he entered the Camp with his leg swinging like a pendulum of a clock." He died on the 2d of June, forty-three days after he received his wound, and was buried with all the honors that could have been paid to the Commander-in-Chief; all the troops were under arms, and the Officers of the Navy joined in the procession, and minute guns were fired during its progress to the place of burial. We sincerely symphathise with the connexions and friends of the subject of this melancholy narritive. He was amiable, affectionate, and this painful record will faithfully attest that he was "bravest among the brave." Justice requires us to say, that it is among the most painful of their regrets, that the friends of Mr. Trask are apprised that his life was eventually sacrificed to either the negligence or culpable want of surgical, or medical aid."

D, 21st Ohio and was killed in action on 20 September 1863 during the battle of Chickamauga, GA. Private Trask was shot in the head and killed instantly but was most noted for his unusual antics just prior to being shot. He kept leaving the line during battle, complaining all the while to his commander that he had been shot in the head and that he was a dead man, thought there was no wound on him at the time. Later many were shocked to see his body with a bullet hole in the exact place that he had been complaining of just prior to receiving the wound.

The Lawrence Massacre by a band of Missouri ruffians under Quantrell on August 21, 1863 150 men were killed eighty woman made widows and 250 children made orphans Price Ten Cents J. S. Broughton Publisher Lawrence, Kansas

JOSIAH C. TRASK was one of the 180 victims of the terrible Quantrill raid and massacre at Lawrence, on August 21, 1863. He was a young and brilliant editor at the time of his death and few men of Kansas were more beloved. His father was a minister, who preached in Massachusetts for many years, and he himself was born at Warren, that state, May 9, 1837. He pursued an academic course at Fitchburg, and when sixteen years of age went to Boston, where he was employed as a printer in various newspaper offices. Through his father-in-law, Joel B. Hibbard, one of the founders of Cortland (New York) Academy, Mr. Trask imbibed strong anti-slavery convictions, and in February, 1857, in company with his brother, left New York for the Territory of Kansas. He first secured employment in the office of the Herald of Freedom, Lawrence, and in 1861, with Hovey E. Lowman, bought the paper and changed its name to the Kansas State Journal. Soon afterward he edited a paper at Topeka and published one at Yankton, Dakota. In the fall of 1862 he returned to New York, married and settled at Lawrence. In the following year, besides editing the Journal, he went as a delegate to the canal convention held in Chicago, and in the following July spent the Fourth, with his young bride, at Junction City. Arrangements had been completed for adding a daily issue to the Journal and the press arrived only a few days before his death. For several years he had done a large portion of the printing of the laws of Kansas, was able and popular, and of fine personal presence. On the morning of the massacre a band of Quantrill's men appeared at his boarding house and demanded the surrender of the inmates, under the promise of honorable treatment as prisoners. Mr. Trask was the first to appear and when all the inmates had followed they were shot in their tracks. Two of the number were instantly killed, including the lamented editor of the State Journal.

George C. Trask 1896 - 1983
Published on December 31, 1983 - Associated Press and Detroit Free Press
George C. Trask, one of the few survivors of a British camel corps commanded by the legendary Lawrence of Arabia, has died at age 87. Mr. Trask was a member of Britain's Imperial Camel Corps during World War I and rode into battle with the renowned military strategist T.E. Lawrence. Services will be today in St. Barnabas Episcopal Church on Bainbridge Island, a church Mr. Trask helped found. He died last Sunday of a heart attack in his Bainbridge Island home.
Mr. Trask was born and reared in Beccles, England, near London. At 17 he joined the camel corps and rode with the First Suffolk Regiment. At the time of his death, Mr. Trask was one of about a dozen surviving members of the camel unit, said Laurel Slaninka of West Seattle, his daughter, who attended several reunions with him in London. "He wanted to get away from home and go where the action was but he found out it was no picnic at all," said Trask's son, Russell, also of Bainbridge Island. "He said it was one of the biggest mistakes of his life. He had to live in the desert on hard tack and bully beef," Russell Trask said. "What he thought were raisins in the hard tack he was eating turned out to be weevils." Trask said his father recalled "burying dead camels in the sand. It was quite a chore." Slaninka said her father had only "a vague knowledge" of Lawrence, who, as a colonel in the British government, helped organize the Arab revolt against Turkey. Lawrence became passionately devoted to the Arab cause and his military and diplomatic skills led to the defeat of the Turks and the entry of the Arabs into Damascus, the capital of Syria. After World War I, Mr. Trask traveled to North America and worked his way west across Canada, finally settling in Seattle, where he married Johanna Wegner. He was head of Seafirst Bank's printing department for 40 years, retiring in 1967.

Airman Donald H. Trask killed in helicopter blast on The Carrier Wasp at sea
Ney York Times, August 19, 1959
2 Killed, 21 Injured In Helicopter Blast On Carrier At Sea Quonset Point, RI, Aug. 19 Two crewman on the aircraft carrier Wasp were killed and twenty-one were injured in an explosion and fire yesterday afternoon while the ship was on maneuvers in the Atlantic. The carrier docked at the Naval Air Station pier here this morning.
The accident occurred at 3:52 P.M. yesterday while the ship was about 250 miles east of Norfolk, VA. A helicopter engine being tested on a hanger bay "overspeeded" and exploded, the Navy reported.
The Navy identified the dead as Lieut. (j.g.) Jim Frank Hagan of Marianna, Fla., and Airman Apprentice Donald H. Trask of Keene, N.H. Explodes In Routine Test Lieutenant Hagan, a pilot, was testing the helicopter. Apprentice Trask was asphyxiated in an elevator pit while fighting the fire.
At a news conference here, Rear Admiral Robert J. Stroh, commander of Carrier Division 14, who uses the Wasp as his flagship, described the accident as follows:
"A helicopter engine 'ran away' and exploded while it was being tested in a routine test by a qualified pilot."
"The cause of the runaway is indeterminate at this time and will be investigated. Obviously there was some malfunction or maladjustment of the engine."
"The 'helicopter was consumed', as well as two others. The pilot was killed instantly and one enlisted man died fighting the fire."
Admiral Stroh said he had never heard of such a "runaway" engine under hangar deck testing conditions. Runaway engines, he noted, are not uncommon when aircraft are airborne and the governors malfunction.
Admiral Stroh said that all but three of the injured were back on duty today.
Of the twenty-one injured crewman, only one required hospitalization. He is Sidney A. Chaplain of Philadelphia, who suffered a fractured of the left leg and burns.
The exploding helicopter and three others had to be jettisoned. Three others were extensively damaged.
Navy officials said the heavy damage resulted in part from the sea water that poured on the flames from overhead sprinklers and fire hoses. Magneseum, a principal component of helicopters, burns fiercely under water.
As soon as the fire was observed by the task force accompanying the Wasp, four destroyers rushed to her aid --- the McCaffrey, the Lloyd Thomas, the Harwood and the Keppler. Will Undergo Repairs Two closed alongside and poured water into the hanger bay. The two others took positions astern of the carrier to aid in possible rescue operations. Admiral Stroh said the Wasp would remain here for twenty-four to thirty-six hours before being assigned to a shipyard for repairs. The Wasp, a 35,200 ton vessel, carries a crew of 2,300. Her home port is Boston. Admiral Stroh praised the Wasp's crew for confining the fire to Hanger Bay One, the forward compartment of three bays on the hanger deck, below the flight line. "Had the fire progresses beyond Bay One, we would have been in very serious trouble." He said.



Air Rescue Service - so that others may Live
At 0605, on 21 January 1991, US Navy Lieutenants Devon Jones and Larry Slade bailed out of their F-14 Tomcat, 30 miles from Baghdad, after it was struck by an Iraqi missile. Enemy forces captured Lieutenant Slade, but Lieutenant Jones managed to evade the enemy. US Air Force Captain Thomas Trask and his crew, after searching in their MH-53J Pave Low helicopter, approached the area where Lieutenant Jones was hiding. At the same time, two A-10A Thunderbolt II ground attack jets destroyed an approaching Iraqi vehicle while Captain Trask pressed the rescue. Captain Trask landed his helicopter 150 yards from the smoldering truck, picked up Lieutenant Jones, and then delivered him safely to Saudi Arabia, completing the first successful combat search and rescue mission of the Gulf War.
Following the war, this rescue was designated the most meritorious flight of any US Air Force aircraft in 1991, and earned Captain Trask the Mackay Trophy from the US Air Force Chief of Staff. A permanent display in the Air Rescue section of the US Air Force Museum in Ohio, complete with its own official Air Force web site, pays tribute to this heroic rescue
