I am trying to track down any information on my Great-Uncle Pvt. Everett "Cot" Shackles, A Co., 503 PRCT, KIA 28 APR 1945 on Negros.
I am a paratrooper currently stationed in Georgia and I'm trying to track down the history of my family's military service to pass down to my sons, all of which are planning on joining the service.
My grandfather passed away in 1991, and other than the fact that he told me about his brother's death he never would talk about it. If there is anyone out there that knew my Great-Uncle or about his service and death, I would appreciate to hear from you.
Thanks. Hooah!

Dean,
I have given your info and contact details to Steve Foster who has researched the Negros campaign extensively.
We are slowly, but surely adding pages to the 503d history and have started to get most of the Negros Campaign posted to the "Bless 'Em All" feature on the website. The 503d ran into stiff Japanese resistance the period of 22 - 28 April. as they were assaulting high ground fairly constantly there. After April 29, the Japanese scattered into the mountains to the south and east.
regards, eXo CHS-503 Heritage Bn
