ELMORE's  buried in the Golden Gate National Cemetery 

          Paul Elmore enlisted in 1941 and was discharged in 1946.  He enlisted at Sacramento, CA. and was discharged in Arkansas.  He was in Company K of the 7th Army.   These links will show the movement of the 7th Army during the war and a map of their battle stations.

        When the Japanese occupied the islands of Attu and Kiska in the Aleutians in Alaska in June 1942, the Allies had to remove them before they could attack the Kuriles. The Aleutians would be the only land battles in North America during World War II.  The cold weather and remote location would make resupply of the Japanese garrison difficult, while the Americans would send thousands of highly trained soldiers to attack the outpost that conceivably could threaten Canada and the Western coast of the United States. 
          Companies I and K, though depleted by battle losses, conducted the attack on the upper plateau of Attu which led to the capture of Chichagof Harbor, where the fighting was at its fiercest.   In March 1943, the US Army 7th Division landed on Attu, and killed all but 30 of Attu's 4700 defenders. The end came in the form of a disorganized, drunken charge, called “Banzai”by the Americans, who heard the word screamed by the advancing Japanese.

         All efforts to dislodge the enemy from his defense positions in the snow-covered mountain passes leading to Chichagof failed.  On May 26 a new attempt was made by a reinforced battalion of the 32d, which was successful at first, then stalled as the intensity of the enemy's defensive fires drove the Gl's to cover.
         Then Private Jose P. Martinez, a Company K BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) man from Taos, New Mexico, started to charge the enemy trench lines. A few hardy soldiers ventured to follow him.  Martinez completed the climb, and firing his BAR and throwing hand grenades he knocked out part of the enemy strong point. The main pass was still 150 feet above him, and the way was barred by enemy fire from both flanks and from tiers of snow trenches to his front.  But Martinez was confident; he rallied the men who had come with him, and once more started the climb, blazing a path with fire from his BAR.   As he reached the final trench and started to clean it out, he was hit and mortally wounded.   But a few minutes later the infantrymen swarmed over the Pass.   Its capture was the end of organized Japanese resistance on Attu, although the enemy had enough strength in reserve to mount a night Banzai attack in the Clevesy Pass on the last day of the month of May.
 
        With Attu under control the Division turned its attention to the next target: Kiska, westernmost of the Rat Islands.     Meanwhile, the 159th Infantry had taken over on Attu, and it was decided that this regiment should stay there. The 184th Infantry, another California National Guard outfit, then at Fort Ord, was alerted to get ready to join the Division when the campaign in the Aleutians ended. This was sooner than anyone expected. The Japanese on Kiska, possibly as a result of what happened on Attu, decided not to fight after all.  'The Hourglass soldiers invaded Kiska to find not a single enemy soldier there.
