Walmsley Recieves CMH

[Þórgrímr (OP)]

Steve, do you have any famly that you know of here in the States? I found this interesting blub while doing some research on the 3rd Bombardment Group.

Capt John S Walmsley Jr was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on 14 Sep 1944: flying a night mission in a B-26, Capt Walmsley discovered and attacked an enemy supply train, and after exhausting his ammunition he flew at low altitude to direct other aircraft to the same objective; the train was destroyed but Walmsley's plane crashed in the target area. The group returned to Japan in 1954. Redesignated 3rd Bombardment Group (Tactical) in Oct 1955.

Cheers, Þórgrímr

I don't have any family in the States that I am aware of, although its possible. There are quite a few Walmsleys in the North-west of England. There is another Steve Walmsley who also plays poker living about 25 miles away and at least one other Steve Walmsley who was an IT consultant when I was in the line of work and only lived 15 miles away.

I was just wondering since I had not seen that last name outside references to England before finding that CMH entry. Maybe you have a branch of your family tree that took root in the colonies long ago.
