Hello:
I'm looking for men from the 3rd BN, 30th Infantry Regiment who were in Fedela in mid to late November 1942.

He was killed during the invasion of Leyte Island.
Editor's note: This is probably wrong, as the Date of Death places the 7th Infantry Regiment in Italy, not in the Pacific.
 Some information says he died: May 27, 1944. But church records say he wasn't buried until September 16, 1948. It is said that he received a Purple Heart, but I can't find any proof.. Please help if you can, and if you can't please put me in touch with someone who
might be able too.
