My father Pfc. Harley H Barnes (May have gone by “Hal” or “Barney” was in the US ARMY 76th Inf. Div., 304th Inf. Regt. 1st Bat. Company C. He passed away in 1979.
He never spoke about his experiences in WWII to me, (I was 11y/o when he died.) and we have very few records. His USAF records state that he was wounded on April 13, 1945. The best I can determine that was around Hollsteitz or Zeitz or somewhere in between. My older brother recalls him saying that he went in the line of fire to help a wounded comrade. He received a Purple Heart & a Bronze Star. Although the Bronze Star is not recognized on the 76th Infantry webpage.
This is all I know. I would love to know where he was wounded, what injuries he had, and any other details surrounding him or his particular group and their experiences. I realize there are not many of these heros left, but I thought I would give it a try!
