The decorations earned by PFC Frank E. Barber include: the Combat Medical Badge, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Asiatic-Pacific Service Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.
My Uncle Frank had lost an eye as a child and didnt have to enlist in the Army, but felt he had to as all of his friends had either been drafted or had enlisted. My mother told me that he was a stretcher bearer when he was killed.
