Picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. Pretty interesting guy. Combat Engineer and one of the first on the beach on D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, crossing the Rhine, etc, and involved with the Purple Heart Association. He passed in 2012 at 95 years old. Interestingly he did an online biography that's pretty interesting if you have the patience to sit through the entire hour.

Also have some additional newspaper articles I found;

I found his surviving daughter in Florida but have been unsuccessful in contacting her as of yet. Would like to get the watch back to her if she would like it.
