He was on Luzon, Solomon Islands, Bougainville, Hill 700. His name was Warren Andrew Robertson, his DD214 shows he was in 565 days of combat, he is burried in Arlington. All his pictures were lost in a fire. I would love to see anything you post. God Bless America. Roger Robertson For Ed Roach, my father was in the 117th combat engineers.

Ben Tomlin is listed as KIA. I have information about the circumstances of his death that was passed on to me by a fellow soldier who was with Ben Tomlin at the time of his death. I also have a picture of Ben Tomlin just before his death that i would like to pass on to his family.
