Notes
a. Note:   MILITARY: Military Service: WWII US Army disabled veteran . Departed Jacksonville, FLA at the age of 21 for basic training at Fort Robinson, Arkansas. After basic training Jim Washington departed the US out of Newport News, VA. Arriving in Rome, Italy, Jim learned of his orders. MILITARY: Everyday, fifty or more soldiers were called out to receive their orders; then one day, one name was called. "James B. Washington, 36th Combat Engineers". Jim, having scored a 100% on the placement test was delighted because the other soldiers told him how good he'd have it; but Jim was to learn otherwise. MILITARY: Jim's assignment with the 36th Combat Engineers was to locate and dismantle land mines in the position of front row-right flank. MILITARY: With adrenaline pumping throughout his body, Jim was the first to jump off the beach assault ship before it shored in. In full dress, private Washington almost drowned from the gear weighing him down. MILITARY: Another mission that the 36th Combat Engineers had was to search for land mines at Anzio Beach Head, Italy, so the US Army troops could move in. Jim was hit by Anzio Annie machine gun fire and a thrown grenade. When arriving at the hospital in Naples, Italy, two doctors said that they couldn't help him. Then a third doctor, a captain, told Jim that he'd fix him up. Two months later he was back in action. MILITARY: While on another mission marching in the snow in Germany, Jim got frozen feet. Again, he was sent to the hospital and placed in the "blind" tent. Jim saw the doctor walking to him and acted like he was asleep; the doctor poked a pin in Jim's feet, though he didn't feel a thing Jim jumped because he knew why all those limbs were in the "blind" tent. Eventually, Jim Washington recovered, but always throughout his life had circulation problems and burning in his feet. Posted on his DD214 was "trench foot" along with his other injuries. MILITARY: Jim went into invasion 5 times. He served in: South Africa, Southern France, Italy, and Germany. CLUBS: Everglades Conservation and Sportsman Club, Founding Member, president for 10 years. CLUBS: Moose Club. CLUBS: Elks Club. CLUBS: Veterans of Foreign Wars.[washington2006cousins.FTW] MILITARY: Military Service: WWII US Army disabled veteran .
