U.S. Army, World War II

21st Photo Rem. Sq.


Enlisted October 8, 1942; honorable discharge November 10, 1945.


Harry married Alyce CHAFEE on December 24, 1939, in Crow Wing County, Minnesota. The marriage was short-lived and produced no children.

Before 1950, he married Ruth GRIMM. The marriage lasted for the rest of his life; it was Ruth who applied for Harry's military marker for his grave site.


The 1950 census reports Harry as working as a pharmacist at a retail drug store. However, it also reports Harry as having a high-school education, and no more ("S12"). I.e., the description of "pharmacist" likely was not correct.
