Howard E. Prichard

United States Army Field Artillery Battalion

from:Marlton, PA

In the mountains of Italy during World War II, U.S. troops fought with the help of pack mules. Howard E. Prichard had trained in the mountains of Colorado with a pack mule section of an Army field artillery battalion. He didn't need that training when his unit helped recapture the deserted Aleutian island of Kiska in 1943, but he did as his mules carried howitzer parts in the campaign from Rome to the River Arno in 1944. Besides caring for mules during combat in Italy, he worked as an Army translator in Germany in 1945, relying on his two years of high school language study.
