Email I Received from his Grand-Daughter

Hi Ben,

Thank you for getting back to me. His full name was Francis Thomas Cunningham born on October 19, 1917 in Richmond County, New York (Staten Island, NY). I only have one photo of him in his Army uniforn that I can email to you if you like. The paperwork I recieved from the National Archives says he was awarded:

Honorable Lapel Button, World War II Victory Medal and Good Conduct Medal and dates of service were Nov, 1942 to Dec, 1945 Technicial Fourth Grade

I believe, in the photo on your site of A company he is in the back row, 9th from the left. It's hard to be sure since I couldn't get a clear enough image when I enlarged it. I would love to know any more information about his service or any additional photos.

Thanks again,

Megan
