He is included in this article. There were
many ships of bodies coming in, but I find it
strange he didn't come from New York docks
instead of San Francisco from Europe.
He would have
been buried in Germany and after the war in
1948
brought home to Sherman and buried in
WEST
HILL
The design stands for mechanized units,
showing an early tank design.
Because his family did not send for a military
tombstone, we have no record of his unit and
I cannot find another article about him.
If you have more information, please advise.
The time period in March 1945 puts a lot of
Armored divisions
around Belgium and Germany and it was the huge
push to take the Germans.
