World War II Forum: Searching for info about Grandfather

Posted by: Ron Fortenberry (CouarFBCoach@ThisIsToPreventSpam-409-RemoveThis.aol.com) on 25 Sep 2003 at 2:11:16 PM

My Grandfather Staff Sergeant Oscar Edwin Smith was with the 1st Calvary and served in the Pacific during WWII. He died before I could meet him. I would like some info on him such as where he was stationed, did he see combat, and what was he like. His letters to my grandmother were very vague and he would not talk about what saw and did over there. My grandmother believes he was at Okinawa and was in Japan at one time.

Thanks

If the person posting this message left their e-mail address, we inserted some random characters to prevent spammers from harvesting their address. Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
