WW II
John William Deeds previously of Scottsville, Virginia Served in World War II in the 36th Division - T-Patch
He was in Battery A, 155th Field Artillery Division which served in 7 campaigns during the war. He was in North Africa, Italy, France, Germany and Austria. He was at the Landing in Salerno which was considered to be one of the more critical operations of the Second World War and was one of the bloodier operations. On their first combat mission, 36th Division
troops under the command of Maj. General Fred L. Walker became the first American division to invade the European mainland and test Hitler's continental fortress. Before dawn of Thursday morning, September 9, 1943, without previous naval or air bombardment, the leading waves stepped ashore on the sandy beaches near ancient Paestum.
The Italian surrender had been announced only the night before. Unwarranted optimism was soon reduced as the Germans in waiting faced the invaders. Shoved back from the beaches, the enemy thrust powerfully at Altavilla and along the Sele River. Casualties were heavy. Airborne reinforcements arrived from Sicily at the height of the battle. On September 14th the
enemy's heaviest blows were warded off. The beachhead was secured.
During his time in Europe, he was injured and from these wounds he was awarded the Purple Heart. No metals were given, as such, for the seven campaigns but the European, African, and Middle Eastern were issued 7 battle stars.
