I am looking for details of Captain Ernest T Siegel. He graduated from this class in 1942 and joined the Airborne serving in 509th PIB. I believe he may have been born on 1918 but have no details of his life other than he was a state trooper and law enforcement officer pre and post war in New York state. regards Keith
Not much on his personal life, but I did find his photo on the insigne.org 509th PIB page: His photo is also on the US Airborne During WWII unit page for the 509th. He is at the bottom and identified as the CO of Company A. Just found a page dedicated to him on the 509thgeronimo.org website which has some personal bio info and photos.
Yep got that, which is where my interest was kindled, but my main interest was in when Class 8 graduated. He was an officer of three months duration in late 1942 which would indicate maybe mid 1942? egards
