My father also served in New Guinea and Leyte Island, with the 33 Infantry Division. He wore their “golden cross” patch on the right arm of his uniforms for the next 30 years.

My father was in 32nd ID - "Red Arrow Div." I didn't remember anything about a 33rd Div, but now I see they arrived on Luzon in Jan '45. My father was recovered from MIA and hospitalized on 1/3/45 on Leyte.

By the way, you know, I’m certain, that both the 32nd and the 33rd were scheduled to land on the beaches of Japan, in September (?) 1945.
