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.
