I am trying to obtain my father’s military history, medals, company, and any other relevant information. His name is name is Emmett Edward Crittenden. This is the information that I know.
His serial number was 38666300.
He was drafted in June, 1944 and reported to Camp Robinson, Arkansas.
He left for Europe on October 14th, 1944.
He fought in the battle of the bulge and was injured sometime after that encounter. He told me his injuries occurred when a German plane bombed his convoy.
He recuperated in an Army Hospital and was paralyzed from waste down.
From my research, I have discovered that he left the US on 14 Oct 1944 on the Queen Elizabeth which sailed to Glasgow, Scotland on 27 Oct 1944. This troop ship carried the 423rd infantry regiment and 2nd Battalion of the 424th infantry regiment (106th infantry division) and most of the 87th infantry division.
Other information:
I also know that he was in the same company as Harley B Bricker. He was KIA. Harley Bricker’s serial number was 38666258.
