Francis Xavier Calvin Knobeloch is my grandfather.
He’s the man on the left in the picture. He passed away today, March 1 2019. I have this same picture and a clipping from the paper from his hometown of Tell City Indiana. If anyone has any information that might not have been passed on to us ( my papa was very quiet about ww2) I would be happy to receive it. Thanks. Roy
