Comments: I am looking for anyone that served with my dad in the 160th in WWII. He died when I was young and I never got to know him. I would love to hear from anyone that served with him during the war. He served with the 45th Infantry Division, 160th Field Artillery, I think Company E. He was from Tulsa, Oklahoma and served with the 45th as a Guard member after the war. In one of his letters there was also the name Joel Crain, also with the 160th that took lots of photos during the war. I hoped there might be some of my dad.

By chance did you know My Father?

He was a Sargent of the A 160th FA BR Arty Army He survived the war. But, died years later to a work related accident.

I was very young when he died. So, my memories are few and most of what my mother has told me. I would love to hear from a friend who served with him. It would do my heart good.

Please email me Thank you Monica Richards
