Received this from James Hennessey of the 87th Infantry Division
Marion
At this time of year I always recollect
A person or place from WW2.We called
Cpl.Cornish ,Pop as relative to the
young soldiers in our outfit,he was in his
thirties.Somehow he took a liking to
me(not hard to do).More or less a
guardian angel non com.Whenever
we come back from the front in trucks,
he would run up to the tailgate and
yell "Where's Hennessey is he OK"?
Just a tid bit but I will never forget
His concern for a young G. I. I imagine
he has passed on,never saw him again
after I was wounded. Thanks anyway
Cpl Cornish up there in G.I.Heaven.
Hugs---Jim

Would like to add,CPL. Cornish was from Chicago Illinois.This way I lower the odds.
