Chapter: World War II

World War II was a harsh time in American History, especially for those who were drafted into the fight overseas. From 1942 until 1946, Truman Warner was drafted into serving the United States Army as a medic. He spent his time overseas caring for fellow soldiers and fighting for his country. He was stationed mainly in Northern Africa, Italy and France until his discharge. This section details the part of Warner’s life that really made on impact on his personality. These experiences he was able to be a part of, in countries he had never travelled before, helped shape his young mind. This life-alternating event helped to broaden his amateur love for anthropology and other cultures, a trait that he would continue to carry throughout the rest of his life.
