Pvt. Thomas J. Patrick Jr. Birth: Feb. 7, 1922 Death: Apr. 19, 1944 Battery A, 462nd SN: 14033732
The above clipping was copied from the scrap book of Kenny Lyle (at the last reunion). Kenny was with the 462nd from start to finish. The clipping was from what appears to have been a weekly circular/newspaper published by the 462nd Parachute Field Artillery Battalion for it's members during it's time in Australia. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of page 9.
Although known to the men of Battery A, Thomas's service with 462nd appears to have been forgotten other the years. Perhaps it's now time to add his name to Honor Roll.
Burial: Indian Grave Cemetery Billingsley Autauga County Alabama, USA Plot: 043

Bravo Todd,
Great catch and great work. It's sad that we added another man to the honor roll, but it's great we found him.
I recently scanned all of Ken Lyle's photos from his scrap album from which that article was taken. He did a great job putting names on all the photos. Unfortunately he has no photos of PFC. Patrick.
