Elliott, John H. (John Hayden)

John Hayden Elliott, of Owingsville, Kentucky, served with both the 564th Signal Aircraft Warning Battalion and the 501st Signal Aircraft Warning Regiment in World War II. He was stationed mostly at Drew Field in Tampa, Florida, where a radar training school was established by the Army Air Forces. In late 1943 or early 1944 he was transferred to England, where he possibly worked for "Stars & Stripes." His wife, Mildred Barbour Elliott, took over his job as a rural mail carrier while he was in the Army.
