Oscar was working as a sales clerk when he was drafted in April 1942. He and Lillian were blessed with a daughter in early 1943. We don't know where he was until he was transferred from the replacement depot to F Company 116th Infantry on 5 Sep 1944. However, it is likely he had been serving with another unit. PVT Johnson was promoted to PFC on 21 Sep 1944. On 17 Oct 1944, PFC Johnson was killed in action.
PFC Johnson was repatriated and is buried in Auburn Cemetery in Auburn, Kentucky. It seems that Lillian never remarried.
