Glen Harman in WWII 81st Infantry Division John Charles Harman

Originally I included this story in my book, "Sitting on a Log" which is my autobiography and the mystery that clouded my Mother's death. All my books can be found at: www. JohnCharlesHarman.com Glen Harman 70th Infantry training at Camp Adair Uncle Glen was part of the 81st Infantry Division; he was a Ranger and part of an elite fighting group of men known as the "Wild Cats". They landed in Hawaii, June 11th thru - July 8th of 1944. The 81st Infantry Division was made up of the 321st, 322nd and 323rd Regimental Combat Teams (RCTs) and was to assault both Angaur (321st and 322nd RCTs) and Ulithi (323rd RCT), but only when released by the 1st Marine Division commander. My Uncle Glen was part of the first Army amphibious landing on the island of Peleliu to support the Marines that had suffered their largest percent of causalities in any American battle. I believe the account by my Uncle Glen will add to the history of the battles he participated in during WWII.
