Jackson Shrader


Sometimes it isn't just fighters who are killed in action.  Jackson P. Shrader was a medic 
trying to give aid to a wounded soldier when he was killed in Italy on September 16, 1943.

  1. This was very moving. My father served with The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, first in North Africa and the Sicily campaign in 1943. I will remember him and these brave men today. Lest we forget.

  2. My late father-in-law had been an ambulance driver in Italy. Hubby says he would NEVER, ever, discuss what he saw in that role. Always had PTSD afterwards

    1. Many had PTSD, and they military did next to nothing to help them.
