ASN 13081464
He was a volunteer. Enlistment day 21 may 1942. I think he lied on his date of birth to be able to enlist without parental consent: he was born in november 1923 and his year of birth is 1924 into the army enlistment records.
PFC into 440th Armored Field Artillery Batallion, Battry B, 7th Armored Division.
