Private First-Class Lonnie Forriest Creech, born 10 Jun 1913 in Rule, Haskell County, Texas, was the son of Charles Irvine Creech and Martha Jane (Maxwell) Creech. Rule is 54 miles due north of Abilene.
In the 1920 census 7-year-old Lonnie is living with his parents and siblings Mary 20, Bob 18, Lewis 15, Ella 13, Bill 12, Irvin 10, and Nolan 3, in precinct 2 of Throckmorton County, Texas. Throckmorton is 134 miles WNW of Fort Worth. His father is farming.
In the 1930 census 17-year-old Lonnie is a lodger in the household of Otto and Hannah Weisemann in Mason County, Texas. Mason County is 116 miles WNW of Austin. Lonnie is a farm laborer.
In the 1940 census 27-year-old Lonnie is living with wife Martha 21, on Voca-Fredonia Road in rural McCulloch County, Texas. McCulloch County is 133 miles NW of Austin. Lonnie is a laborer on a WPA Road Construction project. Lonnie's father died 6 May 1941.
Sailing from Borgen Bay, 9 December 1944, the 40th Division made an assault landing at Lingayen, Luzon, under command of XIV Corps, on 9 January 1945. Seizing Lingayen airfield, the Division occupied Bolinao Peninsula and San Miguel, and advanced toward Manila, running into heavy fighting in the Fort Stotsenburg area and the Bambam Hills. Snake Hill and Storm King Mountain were taken in February and the 40th was relieved, 2 March.
The NARA WWII casualty listings by state and county for Texas show Creech, Lonnie F, Pfc from Bexar County as DOW (Died of Wounds) 23 Feb 1945. Since he died of wounds, we don't know the date and therefore the exact place he was mortally wounded but we can assume it was somewhere north of Manila Bay around the Fort Stotsenberg area.
