scottplen Posted May 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2020 thanks to a heads up from a forum member I picked up this up ! Thanks Steve ! 222nd Field artillery 40th Division KIA may 1945 Leyte. Found a picture of him online in what seems to be some camo ? Also same source states he was forward observer and spotter. Small blackened machine engraved.

huntssurplus Posted May 16, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2020 Interesting group, looks like he was killed pretty late in the war, and after the Phillippines had been re-captured. I'm guessing it must have been from guerilla resistance? Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
