Sgt., 286th Field Artillery Observation Battalion, Battery B, Sound Platoon
Thanks to the help of this site and Ed Marinello I was given the change to speak with Bob and learn about his time during WWll.
Below is a link of an article written about Bob. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of his passing. I did read the article and it was really nice. His legacy was his smile. What a great way to remember someone. Hope he is smiling in heaven now along with all the other great vets of WWII. ![:pdt20:](uploads/emoticons/default_armata_PDT_20.gif)
BTW, don't worry about posting in the wrong place. It's easy for me to move things. ![;)](uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png)

Sounds like a great guy. There were very few of those FA Observation Battalion and I would have liked to learn more about what they did.
Thanks for sharing that.
