Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I said I would try to get a marker for my adopted father’s grave Ernest Akeson Fisher. I found a woman in the NH VA, her name was Fisher, lovely person, glad to help a Fisher. She sent me to Massachusetts where they sent me a document. In WW 2 he served with 49 Field Hospital, Atterbury, Indiana. Does anybody know know anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Look up Camp Atterbury on Wikipedia. Also, Indianamilitary.org. Some photos available at www.in.gov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo: The funeral home that buried both of my folks made the arrangements for the marker; they are buried in the National Cemetary, and the plots and the marker were provided at no cost. All I had to do was present their Honorable Discharge Certificates. Where is Mr. Fisher buried? LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Camp Atterbury is active today. Guard and Army. Air National Guard runs their A10s down there too out of the Fort Wayne base. My BIL was there to train before Panama and Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I must find someone who will place the little marker. What does CDD mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the 49th Field Hospital: http://www.indianamilitary.org/WakemanHospital/Units/49th Field Hospital/49th_field_hospital.htm Since the 49th Field Hospital deployed, my guess is some disability or ailment caused him to be non-deployable, and he was given an honorable discharge. Camp Atterbury is pretty much due South of Indianapolis. Like others have mentioned, it is an active post. The last time I was there prior to retirement, they were busy with construction.

By 44 they were taking both older and younger men. His full records would from the Archives, if they exist would indicate the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 I recall something about a spot in his head that never closed from childhood, maybe that was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
