88th Inf Div

[Custermen]

Leo J. Young from Sandusky, Ohio?

Here are some names from the Appendix of 'The Blue Devils in Italy' by Delaney, that lists all the names of soldiers who earned an award. The appendix is broken down by the 3 Regiments, then by the Artillery battalions, medical, ordnance, recon, and other units.

 

Lee J. Young, Pfc, PH - 350th Infantry Regiment

 

Leonard T. Young, Pvt, PH - 351st Infantry Regiment

 

(PH = Purple Heart. No companies are listed; only Regiments.)

Those were the only names that looked close. I thought "Leonard" was it. I'll check some other places.

I really wish I could say the first one, Lee, is a typo and it should have been "Leo". What do you think?
