I thought Ben Davis was a High School, not a Town. Where was he really born?
It looks like Ben Davis is a township just northeast of the international airport. Since the recorder also included "Marion County," perhaps this is his birthplace?
Hello Tom and Tom! Additional records also give Ben Davis as this soldier's place of birth, so the transcription has been updated to reflect what is written on the card. -MH
