BIOGRAPHY

Enlisted in the Army, September 11, 1941 and was sent to Leavenworth, Kansas for a few weeks. Then was transferred to Camp Roberts in California, which was in the process of being built. Our training was preparing us to be sent to Africa, but instead we were sent to the Aleutian Islands. We left the U.S. on June 27, 1943 and arrived in the Aleutian Islands on July 9, 1943. The weather was quite a challenge on the Aleutian Islands as it was very windy, cold and snowy. Telephone poles were braced all 4 ways because of the winds. I was on the island for about a year and a half. Coming home, we were on a ship for 12 days and arrived back in the U.S. on December 16, 1944. Then I was sent to an army camp at Shelby, Mississippi until I was discharged on August 3, 1945.
