UPDATE ON GLEN RANUM

I did write to Patrick.

He stated that Glen did indeed live with his parents until he was a teen. I asked Patrick why he moved back to live with his dad. He said that he was old enough to work on the farm and Alfred wanted him back. Lorine, who had mothered him all those years, was not happy.

As for the place of his death, it was in Luzon, in the Phillipines. NOT at Iwo Jima.

I also have the date wrong. He died in 1945.


RANUM, GLENN A
DATE OF BIRTH: 11/18/1923
PFC US ARMY
WORLD WAR II
DATE OF DEATH: 01/27/1945
BURIED AT: SECTION C-3 SITE 7671
FORT SNELLING, MN

Thanks, Patrick for the update.
