Willie Sweatmon was my great uncle. He with the 9th Infantry Division, 47th Infantry Regt and was involved in the Tunisian Campaign and at some point was captured. He was a POW at Stalag IIIB and later moved to Stalag IIIA where he died. His body was not returned to the States until 08 Aug 1949. The cause of death is not known. He is buried in Georgia not far from his birth place.
If by some chance anyone has any additional information on him I would greatly appreciate a notification.
