In Memory, Charles N. Crenshaw, Jr.

Comments: My daddy was Charles N. Crenshaw, Jr. He died on October 14th, 2006. He served in Korea from August, 1951 to June, 1952 as the Operation Sargeant for the batallion. I loved sitting at his feet and listening to the stories he told about Korea and have since his death been able to read the letters he wrote to my mother. He was looking for a gentleman by the name of Weldon T. LaBlanc from New Iberia, La. If anyone else remembers my daddy from that time, please don't hesitate me contact me as I would love to hear from anyone who knew him at that time.

Thanks,

Did anyone know him?

Comments: All I know is from an article I found, and some bits and pieces from growing up. Arvis was a Cpl. in the Army and enlisted apx. 1946, after basic he spent 13 months in the Army of occupation in Korea. Then spent a year in Japan where he worked in an office as a battery clerk for his outfit. At one time he recieved orders to return to the states on June 8, 1950, but was recinded with the outbreak of the Korean War. He returned to action with the 25th Artillery Division, in a letter home he told his parents he was in action with the large 155m.m. artillery. His MIA date was August 12, 1950,after spending 17 months on the missing list he was pronounced KIA , the death date agreed with the missing date. Since I never knew him I am eager to learn if there is anyone out there that remembers him or knew him while he was serving his country.
