Colonel Edwin B. Crabill

Colonel Edwin B. Crabill was the Regimental Unit Commander of the 329th Infantry Regiment. The documents on this page were acquired by Colonel Crabill's daughter, Anne Crabill Wiley, who's expressed wish was to make the documents known to the public. Colonel Crabill's grandchildren Bruce, Blake, Andy and Claire supporting her in this made the documents available to George Studor, descendant of his namesake of the 329th ATCO, who scanned the items in to be placed on the 83rd documents website and returned them to the care of Andy Wiley, Anne Crabill's son.
