Add Information to Record of a Person who served during the Second World War on The Wartime Memories Project Website

217775 Tech.Sgt. Ralph Leon Achelpohl US Army 54th Inf 10th Armd. Div. from:Indianapolis, Indiana My grandfather, Ralph Leon Achelpohl was born on July 15th, 1920 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was 5'10'' with a slim body and red hair. He graduated from Brownstown High School in the summer of 1937. He joined the US Army at the start of 1942 and was assigned to the 54th Inf. of the 10th Armored Division and served until the end of the war. Sadly, I know of no personal stories of his time in the ETO. After the war he worked for Chrysler and fathered four children. He died of diabetes complications on June 4th, 1987 a few years before I was born. I hope this information becomes helpful in remembering the bravery of my grandfather and his comrades. The photos I have provided is the same bible he carried during his combat tour in Europe, and one of him and his wife (my grandmother) in their later years.
