More information

Hudson J. Moak was a lumberman.
He enlisted in Sacramento, California on 3 December 1942.

Pfc Moak died at the 84th Clearing Station, a medical unit of the division. At that time his company was fighting between Prummern and Beeck, Germany. Because a Clearing Station is mostly located behind the front lines and just beyond the range of enemy artillery, it can be assumed that Pfc Moak died not far from the place were he must have been wounded.
