Ralph Moore served as
a Sgt. T/4 in the U.S. Army Headquarters Company 159th Infantry Regiment in the Asiatic
Pacific and Aleutian Islands. "I was inducted
into service at Jefferson Barracks January 1942." "From there I was
sent to Camp Wolters in Mineral Wells, Texas, where I received my basic training. "The war
continued to escalate and I was sent to San Luis Obispo, Calif., where I joined the 7th
Motorized Infantry Division. We maneuvered on
the Mojave Desert and received specialized training to go to Africa, but with the war
raging in the Pacific, our orders were changed and we were sent to Fort Ord, Calif. for
deportation to the Aleutian Islands. We
arrived there May 1943. I was stationed on the
Island of Attu until April 1945, at which time I was sent back to the states for a 45 days
furlough. "During my
furlough time at home, the war ended in Europe and I was sent to Fort Sam Houston Base in
San Antonio, Texas, where I was mustered out in December 1945." |
