Hi Brittanie:

I'm piecing together a timeline of my father's service in the 161st, Company B. My father was also wounded on Luzon on Jan 16, '45 in the battle for San Manuel. Do you know the day and battle when your grandfather was wounded? Even just the day may tell the battle. Then I might be able to give you an idea of your grandfather's surroundings in battle that day and how he may have been wounded.

I still hope to find out who dragged my wounded father back behind enemy lines and saved his life.

Hi Mr. Schmidt,

My aunt was able to locate the man, Butler, we were looking for. I forwarded your message to her. She has the information you inquired about. Thank you for your response and help.
