Looking for friends of Bill Ryan

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.
