aznation Posted May 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 20, 2021 I believe the name you say to be Earl Lander is Earl Louder. Besides, I couldn't find any Army enlistment record for anyone by the name Earl Lander. I was able to find an Earl Albert Louder who was a SSgt. Although I wasn't able to find an Army enlistment record for Earl A. Louder, I was able to find other evidence of him being in the Army and I was only able to find one Earl Louder in the Army. I can't say 100% sure it's the person in your photograph but it may be. I'm just throwing out there this possibility and what I have in the way of documentation that I've found on him.

aznation Posted May 20, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 20, 2021 With regards to name Raymond Erickson, there are more than a few by that name. I was able to find a SSgt by the name of Raymond Carl Erickson and am attaching his information below. Like Louder I'm not 100% certain it's him but it just might be, so here you go.

Hopefully, someone here on the forum can give you a better opinion than I as I'm not that knowledgeable about the pin and ribbons they carry or the truck and barracks. I believe Erickson is wearing a Combat Infantry Badge above the ribbons. That's about all I know. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
