Bill Lewis and ERnest Morrison

Hi Ben

The picture Chris sent you of Bill Lewis and [Ernest] Morrison was taken some place in France I just don't remember where. Sorry about that. I sent this picture home to my Mother and wrote the names on the back with the note that Bill was a Sergeant when the picture was taken but shortly thereafter he got a Battle Field commission to 2nd Lt.. Sorry I can't be of much help.

You might try Irene Lewis as I gave she and Bill a copy of this picture when they lived in Hudson, FL many years ago. Probably in the late 80's.

Best regards,

Darrell Egner

Received Feb 2007:

On the photo page in reference to Bill Lewis & Joe Morrison, I wanted to inform you that the name on the Joe Morrison picture is wrong. That was my father and his name is Ernest Melvin Morrison, not Joe. I found this photo while looking up information on the 517th. I put in the name Morrison and up came the photo marked Joe. I thought the man driving the jeep really looked allot like my father and never thought the name was wrong, I just thought he looked allot like my Dad. While looking through some old photos I came across the same photo, so I knew this was my Father and not a look alike. I guess the name on the photo should be corrected and wanted to send the correct info to the right person. Please contact me at any time.
