THEODORE C. HANSEN (d. 1945)
Corporal Hansen Dies in Austria Chistmas Day
Cpl. Theodore C. Hansen, son of Mr. and Mr. Spencer M. Hansen of 1835 New York
avenue, overseas since October, 1944, died in Austria, Christmas day, according
to a telegram received by his parents from the war department.
Corporal Hansen, the 171st casualty in World War II from Manitowoc county, would
have been 21 years of age tomorrow.
The message from Washington gave no details on the young man’s death but added
a letter will follow.
He was graduated from Lincoln high school with the class of 1943, and after
employment here for a few months entered the service the following year. He was
first connected with the radio and communication corps of the U.S. army training
at camps in Texas and Louisiana.
Going overseas in October, 1944, he was assigned to an armored artillery unit and
took part in various campaigns. After the war he was assigned to a unit in Austria
guarding S.S. troops. His parents received the last letter from their son a short
time ago. It was dated Nov. 24, when he was apparently in good health.
Survivors are his parents; two brothers, Arthur and Milton, both of this city;
three sisters, Mrs. Ruhl Metzger and Mrs. Arthur Marken of this city, Mrs. Louis
Musial of Plymouth.
