230293 E. Frank Sisson United States Army 667th FA Btn. My father was Corporal E. Frank Sisson of the 667th F.A. BN with The First Army as ground support for the 82nd and the 101st Airborne under Gen Bradley at the beginning of the war. At the end of the war he was with the Third Army under Gen. George Patton. He fought in The Ardennes {Battle of the Bulge}; the Battle of The Rhineland; and The Battle of Central Europe.
During the Occupation he was Sergeant E. Frank Sisson assigned to the 559 M.P. BN. Headquarters Company. He was assigned a Jeep, an interpreter and the job of investigator until his separation from the Army on 25th April 1946.
When the war was declared over, he was on his first leave so he did not get to collect any of his personal belongings nor did he get to say goodbye to any of the men in his outfit.
As of 6th December 2003, he has never received any of his medals: A star for each of his battles, The Medal of Good Conduct, The Expert Rifleman's Medal, and his Purple Heart. Does anyone know how I can acquire these medals for him, or if it is possible to find lost WWII effects? Does anyone remember him?
