Posted by Kenneth Monson on December 13, 2005, 10:40 pm, in reply to "Charles H.Monson" Documented information I have, Is from the "Enlisted Record and Report of Seperation" which was receives last week. I attempt to find other Documented information to help find where he was injured. He left NY on 20 SEPT, 1944 and arived EAME theater 1 Oct 1944. Indications show the 333rd on the Edmund B Alexander, but records have been distroyed. They arived in Greenock Scotland Oct 1 1944 and transfered to Southampton, Returned home, he became a Professor of Philosophy and Academic VP University of Utah. He passed away in 1974 from the same problem that put him in the Hospital in 1945... Archives at the Uof U has his Purple Heart. Any help in finding information on when he received his injury, or where he was from Feb 1945 to the end of the war would be appreciated. Ken

I have had a chance to see the assistance you have rendered to others on this board, thank you.
He attended ASTP/ Lafayette College for a year. He was decorated for the Rhineland and Ardeenes Campaign. In waching a TV series just before he passed away (1974) he saw a story on St. Josefsheim and mentioned he help liberate. I am unable to locate where that is, but believe it around Hardt Germany. The Battle there was Feb. 28 1945 and I believe he was injured around that time. He was not decorated for the Central Europe campaign, though he was in Europe at the time. He was possibly in the Hospital. He departed the EAME on Jan. 10 1946 and arived stateside Feb. 11 1946.
