Veterans of World War II [H - L]

Some of the names have been taken from their tombstones, and some from the online government site and the local Veterans Administration list. If anyone has anything to add to these entries, feel free to send it to me. Future researchers would be delighted to find physical descriptions, medals earned, what kind of people they were, pictures and whatever else you deem proper to include. Here is an address with a search to find the men in this list.

Two Rivers Fighter Missing in Action 
Ensign Burton Hanson, Jr., 21, son of Burton M. Hanson, Two Rivers lumber 
company executive, has been reported “missing in action” according to a message 
received by his father from Admiral Jacobson at Washington, D.C.
Ensign Hanson, only Two Rivers boy to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy at 
Annapolis, has been in active duty since 1940. The message requested no mention 
be made of the name or classification of the ship on which the young man served.
“As far as I know young Burton was on duty in the Atlantic,” said his father this 
morning. “The last I heard from him was on December 6, before the war started and 
he was then serving in Atlantic waters. The news is distressing but we can still 
hope for the best."
Ensign Hanson was graduated from the Two Rivers high school in 1936 and in 
September of that year was appointed to Annapolis by Congressman George Schneider.
He graduated from the naval academy as an ensign in June, 1940, and shortly after 
his graduation went to Pearl Harbor and was stationed aboard a warship. He remained 
at Pearl Harbor until last June and then went to Boston. 
Hanson was brilliant scholastically at high school and was prominent in sports, 
being on the varsity swimming and football teams.
He was an honorary Rotarian, a member of the Purple and Gold society and a member 
of the Neshotah News staff of the Two Rivers high school. He was also a member of 
the National Honor Society.

Tribute Is Paid To Ensign Burton Hanson 
TWO RIVERS (SPECIAL)—Tribute was paid the late Ensign Burton Hanson Jr., yesterday

war victim worshiped before going to the U.S. naval academy and joining the fleet.
Ensign Hanson, chief engineer aboard the destroyer Jacob Jones, was one of more 
than 100 casualties when the destroyer was torpedoed off Cape May, N.J., early on 
Feb. 28.

Purple Heart Award Conferred on Hanson 
TWO RIVERS, (Special)—Burton W. Hanson, father of Ensign Burton Hanson, Jr., 
first Two Rivers man to lose his life in the present war, has received the 
Purple Heart citation which was awarded his son by the United States government. 
Ensign Hanson was a member of the crew of the destroyer Reuben James which was 
torpedoed in the Atlantic in February, 1942.

HELGESON: Orrin Conrad

Corp. Conrad Helgeson Has Eight Battle Stars
Conrad Helgeson, whose military service took him to eight different 
countries, still contends that the United States, Wisconsin, and home 
are best of all. He has arrived home from overseas, receiving his 
honorable discharge at Fort Sheridan on September 22nd. He has 
mentioned the primitive condition of the peoples of many of these 
countries with the oxen still used in much farm work.
Conrad came through with eight battle stars, and eight campaigns during 
those thirty two months overseas without being wounded once. However, 
he did suffer four attacks of malaria.
It was on June 24, 1942, that he entered service with his training 
beginning at Fort Bragg, Noth Carolina. He was later sent to Fort 
Meade, Maryland. On February 7, 1943, he left for overseas, going then 
to North Africa. He was at Casablanca, the Tunisian Campaign, 
participated in the Sicilian landing, was at Salerno, lower Italy, 
across the Volturno River up to the Casino front. They then moved back 
to prepare for the Anzio landing. He was at the Anzio Beachhead for 
four months and while there saw Russell Glasow, the only Valders or 
county soldier he met in his entire army service. While in this area he 
went to Rome and there visited the Vatican and saw the Pope.
His group was then moved back to lower Italy to prepare for the 
invasion of southern France. They fought through southern France up to 
Strasbourg on the Rhine. They were then pulled down to the Colmar 
pocket, and here were cited with the Croix de Guerre by the Fench 
government and the U.S. Presidential citation. They then went into the 
Siegfried line, went through to Augsburg, Munich, Salsburg, Austria and 
were there when the war ended.
Conrad enjoyed much going through Hitler’s noted hideaway, Berchesgarten. 
He was then with the troops of occupation in Austria during May, June 
and July. Transfer then came to Melsungen, Germany, where the troops 
remained for several weeks.
Having enough points at this time he was transferred to the 69th 
homeward bound division.They left Le Havre, France, on September 7th 
and with a little stormy weather docked in New York seven days later. 
The usual time for the trip is six days.
Conrad was in communications - radio - and then drove for the general 
of his artillary divison. When this general was transferred to the 
states he drove for the colonel of the division artillary.
The strong ties that hold and bind together a group of fighting men was 
evidenced when Conrad suffered his first attack of malaria. This was at 
the time of the Sicilian campaign, and while he was still in the 
hospital, he learned his division (the noted 3rd) was to go into action 
- so Conrad secured his hospital release and rejoined his group. Twice 
when malaria attacks recurred he took treatment in his own unit in 
order to stay with his group.
Conrad has the Good Conduct Medal, Distinguished Unit Badge, Croix do 
Guerre, Theatre ribbons, Bronze Service Arrowhead, 5 overseas bars, 1 
Service stripe and the Driver and Mechanic’s Badge. He has eight battle 
stars, showing participation in the Tunisian campaign, Sicilain 
campaign, Naples Foggia; Rome-Arno; Southern France; Colmar; Rhineland 
and Central Europe.
The engagement of Miss Doris Vetting to this young Valders soldier was 
announced by Miss Vetting’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vetting on 
April 5, 1942, and now with Conrad’s return the couple is planning 
their marriage for October 24th.

Two More Names Added To County Casualty War List
The names of Cpl. Technician Clarence A. Becker, 20-year-old son of Mr. 
and Mrs. Clarence R. Becker, 1329 South 13th street, and PFC. Melvin G. 
Hurley, 24, son of Mrs. Bertha Hurley, Two Rivers, were added to Manitowoc 
county's honor roll of servicemen who have sacrificed their lives.
Born in Two Rivers Oct. 25, 1920 PFC. Hurley was 24 on his last birthday. He grew 
to manhood there and was a member of the graduating class of 1938 at the Washington 
high school. After leaving school he was employed there and on Oct. 21, 1940, was 
married to Miss Perline Geronomi and a year later the couple moved to Rahway, N.J., 
to make their home. He was employed as a trucker by the Merck Chemical company.
Last June Melvin Hurley was drafted and was sent to Camp Wheeler, Ga., for his basic 
traing which was completed by October. In November the contingent moved overseas and 
was immediately used for replacements in France. He wrote home in January and stated 
that he was back with his unit after having spent three weeks in the hospital but did 
not say why he had been hospitalized. At Christmas time a short note said "The 
Fighting First pauses to send you Christmas greetings." His last letter to his mother 
was dated Jan. 2 and spoke of action but mentioned no localities. Mr. Hurley said that 
later letters were possibly on the way but that her son had complained that he had not 
been receiving mail possibly because the unit was on the move and was in combat.
Surviving are the widow, a son (Survivor omitted for privacy.), living at Rahway, 
N.J., his mother, Mrs. Bertha Hurley, this city and two sisters (Survivors omitted 
for privacy.)

The following is a letter sent to his wife by the Army:
AFPPA-g
APIF 201 (1446g) Kluth„ Frederic E.
0760g69
24 July 1945

Mrs. Frederic E.. Kluth
735 North 10th Street
Manitowoc, Wisconsin

Dear Mrs.Kluth:
I am writing to you with reference to your husband, the late First Lieutenant Frederic E. Kluth.
A report concerning the death of your husband has been received in this headquarters which states that he was the
pilot of a B-25 (Mitchell) bomber nicknamed "Charming Lady" which participated in a mission to Luzon on May
18,1945. Sergeant Ford, the engineer gunner, survived the crash and has returned to military control. The following
details of the crash were related by Sergeant Ford:
"I was acting tail gunner on our plane, when it crashed during a combat mission on 18 May 1945. I was the
engineer gunner on the crew, but alternated riding the tail with Sergeant Hawk, the Armorer gunner. We had made
our pass over the assigned target when I heard Lieutenant Kluth, the pilot call the navigator, Lieutenant Viand, and
ask why the bombs had not been released on their run. He stated that he did not know and Lieutenant Kluth, said,
"Stay where you are, Sam. We'll try another pass."We made the second pass, and I believe the bombs were
released. I was strafing the target as we passed over and continued to straf until we cleared. About this time, I
noticed the airplane losing altitude. I listened on the interphone and heard Lieutenant Kluth say to Lieutenant
Wiand, "Are you in the nose, Sam?” He assured him he was. As we came closer to the ground I noticed flames
shooting under the airplane toward the tail, and I could feel the heat of a fire. I realized what was happening then
and started to crawl out of the turret in the tail. Just as I got off the turret seat, we hit the ground. I grabbed hold of
the armor plate to support myself, but believe that I was knocked out by the crash for the next thing I remember I
was wedged in the back with my foot caught on sometling. I had to remove my shoe to release my foot after which I
crawled out of the airplane. I called for Sergeant Hawk and much to my surprise, as I looked around, I was
separated from the rest of the wrecked airplane. The tail had broken completely off when we crashed.
As I looked around the outside, the first movement I saw was someone on his hands and knees on the
ground in front of the airplane, partially concealed in the grass. When I approached to see who it was I heard the
voice of Lieutenant Kluth. Lieutenant Kluth was injured, and I went back to the cockpit of the airplane to locate
morphine and first aid equipment to aid Lieutenant Kluth. As I did this, I made a visual sighting of the wreckage, but
could see no sign of life from the remainder of the crew. I found morphine syrettes in the cockpit and immediately
gave one to Lieutenant Kluth. After doing this, I crawled up on the wing to see what was around when I noticed
fifteen (15) or twenty (20) unidentified civilians coming toward the plane. They approached the plane and identified
themselves as being Philippino Infantry men.
They helped me put Lieutenant Kluth on a caribao sled and then two of the men took me across the field to
the north and the others took Lieutenant Kluth in another direction and told me they would meet us at the other sIde
of the river, as we could travel faster than they could with Lieutenant Kluth. We met the other party carrying
Lieutenant Kluth and then started out together again. After traveling a while longer, we came to a small farm house,
and I noticed a lot of people gathered around a caribao sled. As we got closer, I saw an injured man wrapped in a
straw mat and could see that he was injured worse than Lieutenant Kluth. I heard him mumbling and recognized the
voice of Lieutenant Young, the co-pilot of our crew. I spoke to him and said, "Bob what are you doing here and how
did you get here?” He did not answer my question but asked who else had gotten out. I told him Lieutenant Kluth
and myself. Then he asked for Sam (Lieutenant Wiand) and I told him he was riding the nose which was completely
demolished in the crash. He then said, "Let's go, let's get out of here”. The natives had sent a runner ahead to bring
a doctor, and they started ahead with Lieutenant Young to meet the doctor. By this time, the others, with Lieutenant
Kluth, had caught up with us, and they had put him in a large basket which two men were carrying. I gave him some
water and washed his face and eyes. He seemed a little better and asked how I was, and when he heard that
Lieutenant Young had gotten out he was anxious to know how he was.
The party escorting me was ready to move on so we started ahead for they were anxious to get me out of
there for a scout had spotted some Japs headed our way. Carrying Lieutenant Kluth slowed them up and they could
not keep up with us. They took me to a guerilla Lieutenant's home where I rested for a short time and then was
taken to the home of a Philippino commander. Later a runner came up and said the doctor had seen the injured
men and that Lieutenant Young had died, but he thought perhaps Lieutenant Kluth would be all right. The runner
also said they had taken a different trail with the injured men and would meet me at their Headquarters. The next
day, on my way to their headquarters, I was told at one of the outposts that Lieutenant Kluth has also died.
When I arrived at their headquarters, I met an American Officer who gave me the personal effects they had
removed from the bodies of Lieutenant Young and Lieutenant Kluth and said they would give them a Christian burial
that morning. After putting on clean clothes and resting for about an hour, a scout came and told me they were
having burial services for my two dead companions and asked if I would like to attend, which I did. They had a
traveling Philippino Priest that said sort of a mass, not exactly Catholic, but very nice. They also had a full military
guard and colors. They had put Lieutenant Kluth and Lieutenant Young in bamboo caskets. Lieutenant Kluth was all
wrapped in a parachute and Lieutenant Young in straw mats. They played taps and I had to leave for I did not want
to see them buried. They told me later they had marked the graves with some crosses they made and put
Lieutenant Young's dog tags on the cross.
I rested at this camp for three days and, while I was there, a scout came to the camp and told me that my
other three companions were killed in the crash and that he had slipped back to the wreckage of the plane after the
Japs left, and buried these crewmen. After three days, I accompanied an armed convoy to the airstrip, where I was
taken by plane to Lingayen on the 24th of May.”
Sergeant Ford further stated that he only thanked God that he was here to relate these details and that he feels
greatly indebted to the Filipinos and their American leaders who helped him return. Also Sergeant Ford stated that
he could not imagine what caused the crash unless it was small arms fire as the engines were running smoothly
during the mission and mechanically the airplane was in excellent condition.
Inclosed is a list of the crewmen who were in the plane with your husband and the names and addresses of their
emergency addresses.
We have been advised by The Quartermaster General, who has jurisdiction over matters pertaining to the burial of
our deceased rilitary personnel, that an investigation will be made as soon as possible to establish the exact grave
location of this crew and that each family will be notified when this information is secured.
We are all striving to insure that our honored dead shall not have died in vain. The memory of those brave heroes
who gave their lives for our Country's cause will forever be enshrined in the hearts of a grateful nation, and it is my
hope that this thought will comfort you in your hour of great trial.
Very sincerely,
LEON -T. JOHNSON

Lakatos Missing Is Navy Report
Emil J. Lakatos, machinist mate third class, USNR, son of Mrs. Helen Lakatos,
1020 Madison street, is reported missing in action by naval authorities.
According to a telegram received Sunday evening he has been missing since 
July 30.
Lakatos was aboard a heavy cruiser which pounded the Japanese at Okinawa late
this spring. He was home on 22 day leave last June 2.
Lakatos was one of eight Lincoln high school graduates who worked at the 
Manitowoc Shipbuilding company for seven months in 1943 prior to his enlistment
in the navy. He took his initial indoctrination at Great Lakes, Ill.
He is the fiance of Miss Arlene Dunesch of Fond du Lac, who arrived here this
morning.

Missing - 
Emil Lakatos, machinist mate third class, USNR was a member of the crew of the
cruiser Indianapolis, sunk by a Japanese submarine off Leyte on July 30. His
mother, Mrs. Helen Lakatos, 1020 Madison street was informed by the navy Sunday
night that her son is listed as missing.
Manitowoc Herald Times, Thursday, August 16, 1945 p.2
**********
Offer Mass For Emil J. Lakatos
A memorial requiem high mass will be offered at 8 o'clock Wednesay 
morning, Oct. 31, at St. Boniface church by the Rev. Alfred Pritzl for 
Emil Joseph Lakatos, machinist's mate third class, USNR., who lost 
his life as a result of the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis in the early 
morning hours of last July 30.
Lakatos, only son of Mrs. Helen Lakatos, 1020 Madison street, and the 
late Emil Lakatos, was aboard the ship which was enroute to the 
Philippines from Guam after a run which set a new speed record from 
San Francisco, and after delivery of an atomic bomb. She was 
approximately 450 miles from Leyte when two heavy underwater 
explosions occurred on the (photo) starboard side. The ship filled 
rapidly with water through gaping holes in her underwater body caused 
by the explosion and sank within 15 minutes.
The exact manner in which Lakotas met his death is not known, wrote 
the commanding officer of the ship to Mrs. Lakatos, but it is believed 
he went down with his ship.
Emil enlisted in the navy at the age of 17 years after graduating from 
Lincoln high school. He was stationed at Great Lakes, Ill., for five 
months for training, and was assistant buglemaster. Credited with 
participating in seven battles, young Lakatos came home on a 22-day 
leave on June 8 and rejoined the ship in California July 16, just two 
weeks prior to the sinking. His shipmate and buddy, Robert Cavil, son 
of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cavil of West DePere, also lost his life in the 
tragedy.
Survivors besides the mother, are his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. 
George J. Herman of this city and his fiancee, Miss Arlene Dunisch 
of Fond du Lac.
Young Lakatos was a member of the Holy Name society of St. 
Boniface congregation.
