William Douglas Bush

West Point, 1949

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Hubert Douglas Sammons on November 30, 2007:

Uncle Doug, my mother's (Elizabeth Bush Sammons) brother is only a faint memory now. I was about 3 and remember him sitting me in his lap and later remember my mothers sobs when the telegram arrived to say he was missing in action.

Recently I found a book "From the Hudson to the Yalu" detailing some of his life. Doug was a natural born leader and a true warrior. I try to keep his memory alive. I hope if any one who had served with him sees this please get in touch with me.

Thanks
