WWII Army Soldier Bill Ridenour on Battling the Entrenched Japanese on Leyte
Dewain “Bill” Ridenour was drafted into the Army in 1943. After spending some time guarding the California coastline from enemy threats, Bill completed advanced infantry combat training and found himself on a ship heading for the Pacific.
In 1944 Bill would find himself in a Higgins boat heading toward the island of Leyte and a well entrenched Japanese enemy. His experience with combat and trying to rout out the Japanese defenders of the island would stay with Bill all his life.
