Grave marker for George F. Vestal in Woodlawn Cemetery,
Knoxville (Knox county), Tennessee. George
enlisted at Ft Oglethorpe, GA on 18 July 1941 and went through jump
school with the 507th PIR.
On 16 October 1942, Pvt Vestal was amongst those who
were transferred to the fledgling 508th PIR as Cadre. He was
assigned to the Service Company and later to service Company Detachment
#1, probably as either as a rigger or an instructor in the jump school
at Cottesmore. |
