Abstract
Henry
Buczynski
was
born
27
October
1917
on a
farm
near
Gilman
, in
Alberta
Township
,
Benton
County
,
Minnesota
. The
youngest
of
ten
children
of
Polish
immigrant
parents
, he
attended
a
local
school
and
helped
his
parents
on the
farm
.
Henry's
mother
died
and his
father
sold
the
farm
just
prior
to
Henry's
induction
into the US
Army
in
January
1942
. In the
Army
,
Henry
attended
a
school
for
bakers
and
cooks
(1942)
, then
completed
a
course
in
mess
management
(1943)
. He then
served
at
Camp
Campbell
,
Kentucky
, in a
training
unit
(1943-44)
before
being
shipped
to
Europe
in
February
1945
with the
413th
Armored
Field
Artillery
Battalion
,
20th
Armored
Division
. This
unit
saw
very
limited
action
in
Germany
during
the
war's
final
month
.
Henry's
unit
was in the US,
preparing
for
deployment
to the
Pacific
, but
V-J
Day
in
August
1945
made
this
unnecessary
.
Henry
remained
stateside
until
his
discharge
in
January
1946
with the
rank
of
lance
sergeant
. A
civilian
once
again
,
Henry
worked
in
Chicago
as a
meat
cutter
(1946-47)
before
returning
to
Minnesota
and
settling
in
Cloquet
. He
got
married
(wife
Marion)
and
raised
a
family
, and
worked
at
Northwest
Paper
(now
Sappi)
and
later
Diamond
Match
,
both
in
Cloquet
,
before
retiring
in
1979
.
