Enlisted from the State of Oklahoma. Service in the 324th Infantry of the 44th Division. Appears to have been a wartime casualty, but more research needed.
The medal shown is the World War II Victory Medal; a decoration of the United States military which was created by an act of Congress in July 1945. The decoration commemorates military service during the Second World War and is awarded to any member of the United States military, including members of the armed forces of the Government of the Philippine Islands, who served on active duty, or as a reservist, between December 7, 1941 and December 31, 1946.
Plot number is a match to the plat map from the canvass and survey in "Our People And Where They Rest," James W. Tyner and Alice Tyner Timmons, American Indian Institute, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. [A public University that received taxpayer dollars for the program/product; thus it is presumed to be in the public domain.] 1971, Vol 6, pp. 21-24, under "Whiteoak Cemetery." (Library of Congress No. QE99-C5-T97)
Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is." Their book, like many such cemetery listing compilations, may contain errors. As with any genealogy information, this is merely a "source" and should be considered as such. It falls upon the end-user to verify the accuracy. See their map for use as a quick locator tool for graves here. The set of books are available at many Oklahoma libraries. Once freely available for online viewing, the OPAWTR volumes can now be accessed only at a LDS Family History Library, a partner library, or a Family History Center. (LDS) Aug. 2021 update: I am informed that the OPAWTR set is now available on the Family Search website, but you have to be a member, and be signed in, to be able to access it under "Books." ~
