Dear Friends, we are continuing our search for the
family of William M.(A?) Boltin of Wells or Wabash County, Indiana
killed in World War II. Lt. Boltin
enlisted at Fort Bejamin Harrison December 9, 1941, and was in the
23rd Bomber Squadron, 5th Bomber Group. His service number was
0-750934. His name is honored
on the Tablets of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery in the
Philippines. We do have a possible reference we have located
at the Indiana State Library, World War II Servicemen Database but we
do not have the information.

We will gladly offer the free photos to anyone who asks. Currently
we have located 148 families of Indiana Servicemen killed during WWII
and have sent them free
photos of their graves or name engravings on the Tablets. Many of the
families had no idea there was a memorial honoring their family
members and we are
pleased to find them and offer the free photos, giving them an
opportunity to have a genuine closure. We hope you might know
the family or perhaps have a
listing of servicmen from Wells County with info regarding him.
