WILLARD B. PARRISH

(courtesy of Kristy Thomas)
Grave marker for Willard B. Parrish in Turkey Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Plant City (Hillsborough), Florida.

Willard enlisted at Camp Blanding, Florida on 6 November 1942 and went through basic training with the 508th there.  He also went through jump school with the regiment graduating on 5 March 1943. 

Cpl Parrish apparently was transferred out of the regiment at some yet to be determined point in time as his grave marker inscription indicates he was in a Signal Company.
