He worked for 37 years as a machinist model dye maker for the Department of Defense. He enjoyed his hobby of model railroading. The grouping has all his combat flight logs and his blind flying instrument. As well as his Purple Heart and his Air Medal boxed. He fought in the Pacific and would bomb Japan taking unique photos from the Radar when explosions took place, I was unable to find anything quite like this anywhere else on the market. Jury was not only a Radar Operator but would man the 50cal as an air dunner also. His Wings are Sterling Silver, his Purple Heart is not named but it has his period print out with him listed. It seems he was awarded it for a crash on take off on a combat mission.

His Min Bar has never been removed and is from the Interwar Period. Showing his awards at that time. History William Morris was born in the Ocean Grove section of Neptune Township, New Jersey, on March 22, 1890. After graduating from grammar school and high school he was appointed by Congressman Benjamin Franklin Howell to the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York, in 1907. He graduated from there in June 1911. After graduation he was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Infantry Branch of the United States Army and was assigned to the 19th Infantry Regiment at Camp Jossman, Philippine Islands. He then served at Fort McKinley, afterwards transferring to the 15th Infantry Regiment with duty in Tientsin, China, where he served from 1912 to 1914. In 1914, Morris was assigned to the 9th Infantry Regiment in Laredo, Texas, where he served until 1916. While there he married Ida Marguerite Downing, who he met soon after being commissioned in 1911. Morris was then appointed as a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) instructor and basketball coach at Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Texas A&M University), where he served until 1917, when he returned to the 9th Infantry Regiment as its S-2 intelligence officer. WWI  Morris was promoted to captain on May 15, 1917, over a month after the American entry into World War I. Thirteen months later he was a major. In July 1918 he was sent to the Western Front and was appointed commanding officer (CO) of the 1st Battalion, 360th Infantry Regiment, part of the 90th Division of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). He led his battalion in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel and in the Meuse–Argonne offensive. He was wounded on November 1, just ten days before the end of hostilities on November 11, 1918, an action for which he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second highest award for valor in the face of the enemy, and the Purple Heart. He remained in Europe with the Army of occupation, commanding his battalion in Germany, and then serving on the staffs of the (AEF) General Headquarters (GHQ) and the IX Corps. Citation for Distinguished Service Cross For extraordinary heroism in action near Villers-devant-Dun, France, November 1, 1918. During darkness he led his battalion in an attack under heavy artillery and machine-gun fire. Upon reaching a hill he exposed himself to heavy fire to reconnoiter personally the enemy position, and then, although wounded by a machine-gun bullet, heroically led his battalion in their advance, refusing to be evacuated, inspiring his men by his personal courage.       WW2 In February 1942, two months after the United States entered World War II, Morris, by now promoted to the one-star general officer rank of brigadier general, raised the 6th Armored Division as its first Commanding General (CG). He was promoted to the two-star rank of major general fifteen months later, in May 1943. In 1943 he was CG of the II Armored Corps. He was sent to Italy as a Ground Force Observer for the Salerno landings in September 1943. He returned to the United States and became CG of the XVIII Corps. Upon hearing of the death of Major General Paul Newgarden, CG of the 10th Armored Division, who died in a plane accident, in July 1944, he contacted General George C. Marshall, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, and requested demotion to command of the 10th Armored Division, then preparing for transfer to the European Theater of Operations (ETO). His request was granted and he led the division overseas on the Western Front, where it played a played a vital role in the relief of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, the largest battle fought by the American Army during World War II. Following this he was assigned to command VI Corps in Lieutenant General Alexander Patch’s U.S. Seventh Army in the U.S. Sixth Army Group, under Lieutenant General Jacob L. Devers, which drove from the Rhine to Italy in the spring of 1945. He would earn the Silver and Bronze Star in WW2.

Well… John Verner Lincoln (b. 22 Oct 1926 – d. 14 Oct 1997) “was a man before his time, one of the first to make his living capturing live action on film and, by all accounts, one of the best at his craft. He was a descendent of the Abraham Lincoln family and a look-alike for the man on the $5 bill. He built a tremendous resume over the course of his career, including six Emmy awards. He filmed presidents and popes, Super Bowls and superstars, soap operas and sitcoms. He recorded on tape, and later on film, the first and last episode of the Ed Sullivan Show. Soviet leader Nikita Kruschev first visit to the United States, the missions to the moon, the famous White House tour with Jacqueline Kennedy, and thirty years of the Masters Golf Tournaments. Hilda Lincoln recalled her husbands rapport with Walter Kronkite who used to ask Mr. Lincoln for new jokes to add to his repertoire. She remembered the time he was tear gassed by the Chicago police during the riots there and the time the couple flew to the Caribbean islands for the taping of the soap opera. Search for Tomorrow. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, served his country in the United States Navy during World War II where he was the personal photographer for Admiral Chester Nimitz even receiving a photo credit in National Geographic.” (Obituary of John V.

    One of a kind and personal U.S. Navy Archive of Lt. Cyrus Huie, USNR who served as the Flag Officer to Admiral Raymond Spruance, Fifth Fleet Commander in 1944 and 1945 during many of the critical campaigns of later World War Two in the Pacific. Admiral Spruance, often considered to the be one of the best US Admirals of WWII, Commanded US Naval Forces during many of the most crucial Battles of the Asiatic Pacific Campaigns including The Battle of the Philippine Sea, Task Force 16 at The Battle of Midway with Carriers Enterprise , Hornet, subsequently becoming Commander of Fifth Fleet in April 1944 Spruance preferred to use the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis, named for his hometown, as his flagship. Spruance moved his flag to the old battleship USS New Mexico after USS Indianapolis was struck by a Kamikaze off Okinawa “March 31, 1945: Well we got it today. A Jap plane crashed aft our main deck and banged us up a bit. Can still move along but fresh water is no more and looks like we will have to move. Am getting things lined up for it. Pretty scary feeling when the plane hit, retired to Kerawa Retto, 1 man buried this aft. Adm 2 guests for dinner.”- Diary of Lt. Huie (Kerama Retto). When New Mexico was struck by two kamikazes on the night of 12 May 1945 an immediate search by Spruance staff found the Admiral manning a fire hose midship. Determining that New Mexico was not too badly damaged Spruance kept her as his flagship for the rest of the campaign. Admiral Spruance was calculating and cautious in contrast to Admiral Halsey who commanded the Third Fleet. Spruance was nicknamed “Electric Brain” for his acute ability to remain calm even in moments of supreme crisis a reputation only further bolstered by his successful tactics. “April 12, 1945: We caught a mean one today shot down three planes, one plane hit the (illegible) about 1000 yards from us, one hit the Fellars and two were coming right for us it seemed. This is pretty jittery business, and everybody is fairly nervous except the Admiral who keeps very calm throughout. At GQ again tonight with flares dropped and torpedo attacks, several exploded fairly close to the ship.” – Diary of Lt. Huie. After World War II Spruance went on to serve as President of the Naval War College and Ambassador to The Philippines. On his way to take his position as President of the Naval War College Spruance and his wife stopped in Little Rock, Arkansas to dine with and visit his old Flag Officer Lt. Cyrus Huie as described in a newpaper article within the archive. This extraordinary personal archive chronicles the later portion of the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign and heralds the well known accomplishments of Spruance aboard the USS Indianapolis and USS New Mexico during some of the fiercest fighting of World War Two. It tells a unique story from the perspective of a Navy Lieutenant who loved to sketch cartoons and play the accordion or ukulele but was apprehensive about his experience with daily air raids and the grim loss of life.
