Allen Frederick Leland
Born
as Allen Frederick Leland but known throughout his life as Frederick
Allen or just "Fred", he was the son of Melvin Amos (1877-1959) and
Grace Velma (Emery) (1888-1977) Leland. The Leland's had a total of 9
sons serve in the U.S. military, two of whom were killed in service.
One was Fred and the other was his younger brother, TSGT Warren Francis
Leland. Fred was serving with the 66th Armored Regiment, 2d Armored
Division when he was killed 2 Mar 1945. He is buried in Margarten, the
Netherlands. I am trying to find out more about his service. He is my
8th cousin twice removed.
