Killed in Combat in the Korean War
Daniel S. Judge Square
July 9 (Thursday)

Intersection of Lowell St and Winter St
A blurb from Lawrence City Councilor Marc Laplante's research and portion to be published:
“Soon he was back to Korea. By late January 1951, Judge’s division was part of a counteroffensive against the Chinese troops who began pushing the United Nations’ forces southward months earlier. Meanwhile, in Lawrence on Valentines Day 1950, Judge’s mother was preparing cookies and chocolates to send to her son when she received a knock on the door with news that her son was missing. It would be another month before the Army would announce that Judge was killed on January 30, 1951.”

The next Lawrence Square Project:
WW2 Combat Veteran/Lawrence funeral home director
Eugene McAullife Square
June 25 (Thursday)
4pm
Intersection of Lawrence St and Myrtle St
A blurb from my research and portion to be published:
“His career as a funeral director was interrupted when the United States entered WW2. McAuliffe travelled to Fort Devens, MA, on November 6, 1942, to enlist in the Army and then graduated from Officer Candidate School at Camp Davis, North Carolina. He was sent to the Southwest Pacific in December 1944, where he commanded an anti-aircraft unit. While serving in New Guinea and the Philippines, McAuliffe was promoted to Captain. When the war ended, and after three and a half years of military service, he was honorably discharged (May 1946) and returned to his Lawrence Street funeral home.”
