Served in World War II
He served in World War II, primarily as a medical corpsman, but also took part in the debriefing of captured enemy soldiers as a translator. He was part of various Allied actions, including the "Battle of the Bulge" in Belgium. He never spoke much about the war to family and friends, but it made a life long impact on him. World War II was very personal and involved many friendships. Here is a William and his friend from Duluth (and Denfeld), Lew Helgeson. |
