Insignia |
 These
various insignia items belonged to 2/Lt Robert J. Killion of
whom little is known.
He is believed to have become an OCS candidate sometime after
enlisting in Boston, MA on July 31, 1942 at which time he had a
year of college under his belt. The schooling probably
helped to advance his rank.
Based on the items seen here, he earned the Purple Heart and CIB
and participated in all four campaigns as attested to the by the
Bronze Campaign Star devices, as well as the Bronze Service
Arrowhead, affixed to the EAME campaign ribbon. His
parachutist wings, however, only have a single combat jump star. |
