woodrow greene barnette mecklenburg & iredell county north carolina (nicknames bill or barney)

 

>NEW ... He was 2826 BN ...last correspondence was from Memmingen Germany

 

(Note The Obvious Difference in My GrandFathers Appearance between the two Photos...Hardened At Least)

 

New Here...glad I found it!

 

I am Woodrow Barnette from the Charlotte, NC area. My grandfather was Woodrow Greene Barnette ...huntersville,N.C. and was with I believe to be the 36th Engineers...I have attached the only two photos I have of him that show the patch. Hard to find info on why he would have had a medic arm band in the one photo?

 

He did mention some things about combat in Italy and actually fighting germans but other than that

He NEVER discussed anything with any of us about his war experiences and passed away in his early sixties...around 1973. I do know that he was called Bill & Barney as nicknames .... I just really wish I knew more. It's almost as if he is pushing me to find it and some peace with it for the both of us.......

 

I would be honored to hear anything at all regarding folks knowledge of him...his involvement etc based on his uniform and the one photo with the medic patch.

 

Also, how do we dig up documentation on everything from his enlistment to training to deployment to discharge?
