Still trying to reach Cherie about her Dad, Arthur Hoffman and his nose art.

I checked my post war roster compiled by Loyde Adams over the years and there is one Short.
Ralph W Short who died in 1972. He was a sergeant in the 400th, serial #16035079, and part to the ground echelon from Chicago.

Excellent! Thanks Bob. That surely has to be him.
