Lewis home on a 30-day furlough from the Army General Hospital in Springfield, Missouri in April 1945. He arrived back in this U.S. in March 1945 after serving overseas 18 months with the 2nd Infantry Division where he was wounded in action December 14, 1944. Wow look how he's wearing an Officers Chocolate Shirt, most unauthorized, but then he's home on leave and a lot of things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted August 3, 2020 Share #4746 Posted August 3, 2020 Anti-Aircraft Command - April 1, 1946 "Corporal Joseph O. Quintero was recently discharged from the United States Army. The veteran survived one of medical history's most makeshift operations and endured Japanese beatings during his convalescence in prisoner camp. Corporal Quintero suffered appendicitis while being transferred on a Japanese freighter to the Philippians as a Prisoner of War. An American officer used a razor blade and a spoon to remove the infected appendix and standard cotton string for the sutures. Corporal Quintero spent forty-three months as a prisoner. He dealt with infection and dropped to ninety-five pounds by the time he was liberated. He wears a Purple Heart for his injuries and a Silver Star for saving the life of a buddy. Corporal Quintero is shown sitting on a bench, dressed in his military uniform. He plans to begin his civilian life by returning to school."
