patches Posted February 4, 2017 Share #983 Posted February 4, 2017 Found this one with Bill Holden, interesting that he goes by his stage name as his Army name, he was born William F. Beedle, but he was already in Hollywood before entering the Army, still one would think the Army would not recognize a Stage Name as a legal name. http://williamholden.20m.com/biopage.html Holden's brother incidentally (with the family surname obviously) was KIA in WWII as a Naval Aviator over New Ireland in the South Pacific in January 1945. Kavieng New Ireland was a Japanese stronghold like Rabaul, and was left to wither on vine by MacArthur, and was just subjected to allied air raids. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=56754381 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted February 4, 2017 Share #984 Posted February 4, 2017 If Holden had his name legally changed before he entered the service, they would use the new name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 5, 2017 Share #985 Posted February 5, 2017 If Holden had his name legally changed before he entered the service, they would use the new name. From my Deep Background source. Turns out he did use his real name when he was went in, but after a point However, the Air Corps brass obviously had better use for Beedle to make training/publicity films under his stage name...and Lt. "Holden" obviously was glad to go along with the gig. https://aad.archives.gov/aad/print-record-detail.jsp?dt=893&mtch=44&cat=WR26&tf=F&sc=24994,24995,24996,24998,24997,24993,24981,24983&bc=,sl,fd&txt_24995=Beedle&op_24995=0&nfo_24995=V,24,1900&sort=24995%20desc&rpp=50&pg=1&rid=1738216&rlst=6827162,7092445,1713768,1738216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted December 21, 2017 Share #990 Posted December 21, 2017 Willie Mays. SAY HEY Willie Mays. The United States Army drafted Mays in 1952 during the Korean War (1950–53) and he subsequently missed most of that season and all of the 1953 season. Mays spent much of his time in the Army playing baseball at Fort Eustis, Virginia.[23] It was at Fort Eustis that Mays learned the basket catch from a fellow Fort Eustis outfielder, Al Fortunato. Mays missed about 266 games due to military service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earned a Purple Heart at Huertgen Forest where he was wounded in the left thigh by a shall fragment while leading an infantry platoon during an attack on Germany’s Siegfried Line. https://army.togetherweserved.com/army/servlet/tws.webapp.WebApps?cmd=ShadowBoxProfile&type=Person&ID=340580 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted January 19, 2021 Share #996 Posted January 19, 2021 Here's Pete Rose, USAR XX Corps Fort Thomas Kentucky, 478th Engineering Battalion, with Johnny Bench in the same unit in like 1968, they were cooks, perhaps MOS trained QM Cooks? Rose served from 1963 to 1969 in the reserves. He went on a USO Tour to South Vietnam in late 1967, interestingly while he wears no rank insignia or TAPES on his supplied tropical uniform, he was technically a serving soldier as he was still a reservist, a Sergeant E-5 I think, the same thing could apply to Johnny Bench when he went with Bob Hope on the 1970 Christmas Tour, Bench was still a reservist..
