Hi. I don't know anything about a nickname for my uncle and neither does my dad. If you could send me the photo, though, I'd know for sure if it was him. I recently found out that he was with the 15th Artillery Regiment, 3rd Battalion, H&S Battery. I believe there was a reference to a 90mm AA gun in some notes also. He was in Tsingtao from 10/10/45 to 2/46.

I will get the photo scanned into my computer and email it off to you.

This is very interesting, My Dad was in the 3rd Battalion 15th Marines as well. I am trying to get more information regarding the 15th if you can share anything. I do have some photo's of my Dad with some other guys. maybe one of them is your grandfather? Send me an e-mail
