22 AUG 2020 (Multiple memorials) SACs rec'd from one contributor requesting deletion of rank; FAG does not have drop-down menu choice for the correct rank, though this is a common rank - Technician Fifth Grade (abbreviated as T/5 or TEC 5) was a United States Army technician rank during World War II. Those who held this rank were addressed as Corporal, though were often called a "Tech Corporal". Technicians possessed specialized skills that were rewarded with a higher pay grade, but had no command authority. The pay grade number corresponded with the technician's rank. T/5 was under the pay grade 5, along with Corporal. Technicians were easily distinguished by the "T" imprinted on the standard chevron design for that pay grade.
A Technician 5th Grade; served in the 1895th Engineers Aviation Battalion in World War II.
The medal in the flowers section is the World War II Victory Medal (for dress uniform) A decoration of the United States military 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 corresponds to the map in the canvass and survey from the American Indian Institute; "Our People And Where They Rest," James W. Tyner, Maxine Tyner and Alice Tyner Timmons, American Indian Institute, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1969-1985 Volume 6, pp. 24-25. (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Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is."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)
Keep in mind that this survey was done circa 1970, and based on a visual assessment. Tornadoes, vandalism, agricultural usage/abuse and other such factors, (including re-internment at a different cemetery) may well have intervened and the marker may not be found today.
