Arnold's Story: September 15, 1946

I have no more letters from Arnold in Korea for the rest of 1946. Subsequent correspondence will be from California, after he was sent home on terminal leave in August 1946 and demobilized on September 15. Here I post the rest of Arnold's photos from 1946 (either Korea or Japan) as well as his certificate of service and separation.




From the details of this certificate, we see that he got a lapel button and a few medals: Army Occupation medal (Japan), American Campaign Medal World War II, Victory Medal, and Asiatic Pacific Service Medal. After our parents died, we divvied these medals up amongst us four brothers, Arnold's sons.
