patches Posted September 28, 2015 Share #926 Posted September 28, 2015 Not Hornung,#66 Ray Nitschki TA DA finally, yes Nitschke of the Packers. From what I can see, he was interestingly not a National Guardsman but like Hornung a Reservist, and was activated, but unlike Hornung was detached from his unit (unit unknown) sent as a filler to 32nd Division Quartermaster Company, 32nd Infantry division, I actually got the 32nd Inf Div unit yearbook he's in. Great site of the 1961-62 Red Arrow Division, you'll see quite a few pro ball players were in the Red Arrow Div. http://www.32nd-division.org/history/berlin-crisis/32-bc%282%29.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted October 9, 2015 Share #927 Posted October 9, 2015 Frank Spencer Sutton was born October 23, 1923 in Clarksville, Tennessee. He is best known for his portrayal of Sgt. Carter on Gomer Pyle. His father was a linotype operator for the Nashville Tennessean and died, when his son Frank was 14 years old. Sutton tried to join the Marines, but was turned down for failing to pass the physical, because one arm was bent too far back at the elbow. However, he was able to join the Army and participated in 14 assault landings, including those at Leyte, Luzon and Corregidor during World War II. https://nostalgia049.wordpress.com/2014/07/07/sgt-carter-actor-frank-sutton-not-good-enough-for-marines/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this However because the one unit listed, the 293rd Joint Assault Signal Company as his unit during the PI Operations must be wrong, as this unit was in the ETO. So on the bottom near Sutton's photo, gives the 293rd JASCO as his last unit apparently before discharge, perhaps then the 293rd JASCO was shipped out to the Pacific post V-E Day. http://army.togetherweserved.com/army/servlet/tws.webapp.WebApps?cmd=ShadowBoxProfile&type=Person&ID=372583 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 16, 2015 Share #929 Posted October 16, 2015 Wow someone finally found and posted Don Adams WWII Marine Corps mug shot, 1942. It's the very first time, for me at least, that I'm seeing it, as I looked around once and awhile over the years for a Marine Corps photo of any kind of him.

patches Posted November 19, 2015 Share #930 Posted November 19, 2015 Here's one I just discovered, never knew this, who is he? I know now.... do you? He fought in one of the most epic battles in USMC history. He then went to Hollywood and stared in a epic WWII movie, one of the greats, one made right after the war ended.

USdog Posted November 20, 2015 Share #931 Posted November 20, 2015 I just found this out by accident, so thought I'd post here. Couldn't find a service photo online. Can anyone recognize him? (I hope this one hasn't already been done). He was drafted into the United States Army in 1970 and trained as a medic. He was stationed in West Germany. Most well known for playing as an actor in a famous TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems more then a few Reserve support units from the Mid West, mostly I imagine Companies (Separate) were sent to Riley after activation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
