From the Aug. 15, 2013, Northwest Herald (McHenry County, Il.) obituaries.
AUBREY F. "BUD" KRIEGERMEIR, Age 89, of Woodstock.
Died Aug. 10th.
Born Jan. 22, 1924, in High Hill, Missouri, and grew up in Moulton, Iowa.
During World War II, he served two years as Fireman First Class in Division 6 submarine service in the South Pacific, and six months in the Atlantic theatre on Patrol E Scout.
I tried to find out more information about Division 6 and Patrol E Scout, but didn't find anything.
The Greatest Generation. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
