Grave marker for Angelo P. Greco in the Apex Cemetery, Apex
(Wake County) North Carolina. Following basic
training he was selected to be a medic. After graduation from
Medic school in Texas he was posted to the 1560th SU, POW Camp in
Atterbury, IN where he served as a medical-interpreter for Italian
POWs. A few months later he volunteered for paratrooper duty and
following completion of jump school he was sent to the 508th PIR. .
Angelo had been a professional saxophonist prior to
the war and was a natural addition for the 508th band. He
transferred into the group as early as 1943 and remained when the
regimental band was reorganized to the 112th Army Ground Forces Band. |
