Notes for Arthur Norman SHAW
From Greenfield Paper
Wounded in Germany, 182nd General Hospital England-Hit by a Nazi sniper's bullet during a house to house battle in a German city, Pfc. Arthur N. Shaw 38, of Greenfield, Missouri, is now convalescing from compound fracture of the right leg at this United States Army general hospital in England. He has been awarded the Purple Heart.
"Our unit was set up within the city and there was house-to-house fighting going on", said Pfc.Shaw.
"We were taking some prisoners but the continual sniping made it difficult. I was hit by a sniper's bullet when I crossed a street to get to a command post. I managed to crawl into a doorway and a medic came and took care of me."
Pfc. Shaw's wife, Gladys, and their children, Marian (should be Morrison) and Terry reside at Greenfield. He engaged in dairy farming before entering the Army. ****†His marker is at the foot of his parents. Arthur & Eva Shaw****
