72 years ago, are you sure? Fiddes/Fiddles didn't enlist until 1941.

Frank,

The 126th Infantry was a part of the 38th Div (Cyclones). They and the 32nd Div (Red Arrow),which comprised National Guard form Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, were the units that fought in New Guinea. The 126th was the first to engage the Japanese during WWII. They went on to fight in the Philippines.
