This Memorial Day we will honor a fallen soldier.
Memorial Service for Otto F Weeks August 18, 1945
I found that Otto F Weeks entered the service from Minnesota.
Birth: Unknown
Death: May 3 1945
He is buried at The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, Phillippines.
He was a Tec5 in the Army. That is a special rank above a Corporal.
Rest in Peace Otto. His Find A Grave Number is 56780666
I have a cousin buried at that same cemetery but no photo of the grave.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you found a photo for the memorial service. I almost want to grab a hymnal and see what hymns were scheduled for that service!
ReplyDeleteHow difficult that service must have been for family.
I found a military record at Ancestry that listed Otto's next of kin as his mother, Mrs. Pauline Weeks Anderson, living on Newton Avenue in Minneapolis. I couldn't find anything else, other than a few military records.
