Slightly off topic but this officer was on occupation duty at Sendai 1946-47 but the unit he fought with at Okinawa had been disbanded in 1946. I have seen that both the 11 ABN and 1st Cavalry were at Sendai, was Creel attached to one of these? He later served with the much-maligned 24th in Korea. best regards Keith
You could try the 11th Airborne Division page to see if he is listed on one of the rosters of the 14 subordinate units. I don't know that they are complete rosters, so if he is not listed that would not mean he did not serve with the 11th.
