CPL Clarence V. Sanders was killed in action on January 28, 1945, during a battalion
command recon patrol in Belgium. While on this patrol, the jeep he was driving struck
a land mine, killing him and, grievously wounding 2LT Otis Finnel. The B Battery Commander,
CPT Lorton S. "Doc" Livingston, despite being severely injured himself, made every effort to save
him, but 2LT Finnel died several days later. "Doc" Livingston eventually recovered from
his wounds.
CPL Sanders' nickname was "Duke", and he was from Detroit, Michigan.
In all, the 29th Field Artillery had 50 men killed in action during World War II.
Every casualty is missed by their family, friends, and comrades!
Ms. Carolyn Brown, with the help of Irving Smolens, provided the photograph above,
which is over 50 years old, very dark, and very faded. You may CLICK on it
see the original version. CPL Sanders is the man on the left. Use your BROWSER BACK BUTTON

so it would be more appropriate on this memorium page. The clarity is poor, and we cannot
help this.
