He had enlisted on 5 Apr. '42 at Dallas, TX.. Served during World War II. He had the rank of Private First Class. Service number was 18080767. Served with 32nd Infantry Division, 128th Infantry Regiment, and died in the Philippines .
The 32nd Division replaced the 24th Division, which had been driving the Japanese back along Breakneck Ridge and had captured high ground north of the village of Limon. The 128th Infantry Regiment was ordered to capture Limon, beginning the operation Nov. 22. The effort required "bitter, close hand-to-hand fighting," according to the official U.S. Army history of the campaign. The Japanese built fighting positions in road banks and at the base of trees and under logs, taking advantage of the turns and bends of the path to target advancing Red Arrow Soldiers. The steep terrain and density of U.S. troops reduced the effect of artillery and mortar fire. The 128th Infantry achieved their objective within a few days, though Japanese counter-attacks continued until mid-December.
