Searching for any information regarding Earl Taylor Fairchilds 7/7/17-5/1/1993 service in the US Army! Enlisted out of OKC,OK 9/14/1942 discharged 10/1945 Rank listed as Immaterial branch warrent officer. Earl was the son of Bertram H. Fairchild and Olive Miranda (Taylor) Fairchild, was living in Montgomery Cnty, KS at the time of enlistment. Grew up in Enid where I believe he graduated from college. In 1946 he married the love of his life Mary "Eleanor" Fairchild of Bishop, Tx a school teacher with a masters from Baylor Univ. After living in different areas like Chorpus Christi, Tx and Tulsa, OK for a while they settled on a beautiful farm 5 mi. north of Ripley, OK on HWY 108 known to everyone around as the Fairchild Farm with the well known Fairchild Pond that was always open to anyone wanting to go fishin' They remained there until Earl's death in 1993 and then in 2003 Eleanor finally sold the property to move closer to town. I would really like to know if anyone can tell me what company he would've been in and what his roll would've been while stationed overseas? I know that at some point during his enlistment he was either stationed or passing through Egypt with his troops as I have a picture of him and 2 other soldiers all in uniform sitting on camels right in front of the sphinx. Also, looking 4 any and all info so if you have anything besides service plz send! thanks!
