Lieutenant William James Sheppard, killed in action on February 26, 1945, in an ambush by the enemy in the Hochwald Forest in Germany during the liberation of The Netherlands. He left a large void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him and he will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, Uncle Bill. -
