Grave marker for Herman F. Nevers in the Crouseville
Cemetery, Crouseville (Aroostook county), Maine.
Herman probably
enlisted in the Army in 1943 and was assigned to Service Co, 508th
PIR. On 20 October 1943 Pvt Nevers was transferred to the 69th
Infantry Division at Camp Shelby, MS.
His National Archive
record was updated to reflect his re-enlistment as a Pfc at
Shelbyville, IN on 5 February 1945. The date of discharge is
unknown.
Following his
discharge, he returned to home turf and, amongst other things,
devoted time to act as Scoutmaster of Troop 177, Washburn Maine (see
cropped image, above right). The town of Washburn is only 12
miles from his birthplace of Presque Isle.
