THE HORRIBLE DEATH OF CHARLES SIMPSON THEY NEVER REVIEW TO HIS FAMILY IN WWII

  the death of charles simpson they never review to his family in wwii,

A WWII soldier was killed in France. Family never knew why until now.

For decades, Charles Simpson’s family didn’t know much about how his uncle James died near the end of World War II.

James’s death seemed like a cruel twist of fate. The Arkansas soldier was captured in France in 1945, then liberated from a German prison months later. 

While waiting to return to the United States, the Simpson family was told, he was accidentally shot by a U.S. military police officer trying to break up a fight between two Black soldiers.

From time to time, Charles said, his family tried to learn more. But they were denied access to court-martial records of military police involved in the shooting. And they were told that James’s service record was destroyed in a fire.

Charles Simpson, who never knew his uncle, has pieced together a scrapbook about his life from family photos, newspaper clippings, James’s letters and his own mother’s stories.

James was born in 1916 on the family homestead in Cave City, Ark., according to Charles’s research — the youngest brother in a family of 10. 

The family grew watermelons, and James studied agriculture at Southeastern State College in Oklahoma, graduating in 1941.

But war came. James joined the Army in 1942 and landed in France in November 1944, about five months after D-Day.

“Mother, please don’t let yourself worry over us boys because the war can’t possibly last over 6 months,” he wrote that month. “And then we will be coming back home shortly after.”

James’s prediction proved wrong. In January 1945, he was captured on a patrol during which he “found himself looking into a machine gun in the hands of the enemy,” according to one newspaper account.

At first, the Simpson family got few details about a shooting. A letter from the Army in June 1945 indicated only that James had died of “non-battle wounds.” More details came in September 1945 in a letter from a camp chaplain.

“They should be able to find that out. If not, it’s some type of coverup,” he said. “There has to be some type of paperwork. … Their names should be exposed.”

Charles Simpson wants those names as well. He wants the record corrected — not just for his uncle, but for history.

“This is the real story,” he said.

It's the latest in a string of copycat attacks in China, including one a month ago when a half-naked woman was stamped on by a stiletto-wearing rival. Locals say such scraps go ignored because there is an acceptance that love cheats are deserving of a beating having caused a man to cheat on his partner. In this latest incident, accused Lin Yao Li, 38, was ambushed by four women as she walked home from shops in Puyang, in eastern China's Henan Province.
