SSgt L. H. Wilson was born in 1919. He entered in to the service on June 23, 1942 and was assigned to the 76th Division Artillery HQ Battery. He served his entire career with the 76th and was one of the high-pointers to catch the early ship back to the States. His battery earned the Meritorious Unit Citation for the thousands of rounds they rained down on the German Army during the war. The unglamorous life of a field artilleryman was full of hard, dirty work and long hours. However, countless 76th Division infantryman's lives were saved by the artillery's precision firepower. Wilson passed away in 1985.
