Notes

Middle name believed to be Julian. He was the motorcycle mechanic. During a party in Germany, Doty, who was on guard duty, caught a GI and a Frenchman in his tent going through the boys' property. He chambered a round in his carbine and marched the men to the Captain at the party in the mess hall. He said "Here they are, Captain." The GI was AWOL from another unit and the Frenchman was selling the goods on the black market. Neither were heard of again.
