| 73 | 2 | Jul, 2017 | JONES, LLOYD MARTIN | 423/G | 4/3/2017 | Martin preferred to be called “Martin” but was known as “Lloyd” while serving in the Army as a Second Lieutenant Infantry Platoon Leader. As were many of the 106th Infantry Division, he was captured by German troops in the Battle of the Bulge and was a prisoner of war until May 2, 1945. During those five months, Martin survived two prisoner of war camps, forced marches, Allied air raids and a starvation diet. Martin returned home to Kansas and married Phyllis M. Jones. It was cathartic for Martin to return to Europe with Phyllis several times and walk on the same soil as a free man where he had been forced to march as a POW. A particularly resonating experience was visiting the small Catholic Church in a village called Margarethenried where the POWs stayed one night while on one of their last forced marches shortly before the war ended. It was a beautiful church and the best place where they had stayed for a long time. Shortly after his retirement, Martin was a sought-out WWII POW asked to share his experiences. The first time Martin was packed with other soldiers in a boxcar, they knew the planes flying overhead and dropping bombs were Allied planes. The boxcar in front of Martin"s was bombed with no survivors. Telling about being packed in boxcars, sometimes for two and three days without getting out, nothing to eat or drink, and no facilities of any kind, was not his favorite story, but the telling of it was also cathartic for him. Martin"s college career began before the war and ended after it, at the University of Kansas; his work career also began at KU teaching accounting, and then he worked in administration for forty years, retiring as Director of Business and Fiscal Affairs for the University of Kansas, Lawrence campus. Martin served his neighbors and community through many church and community activities and programs, and was bestowed with many honors. Perhaps his two favorite volunteer activities: as the announcers" statistician for men"s basketball and football home games for the KU Athletics Department for 57 years, and as one of the organizers and the first president of Kaw Valley Bluebird Association, and co-manager of the bluebird restoration program at Clinton State Park for more than 20 years. Phyllis preceded him in death in 2009. They had been married one and one half months shy of 64 years. Martin enjoyed his family, music, KU sports, travel, photography and bridge.

106th Infantry Division Obituaries (2449 Obits; 263 Unpublished)
Due to the extreme number of obituaries that we have discovered that were never reported to the Asociation, and the fact it would require many CUB's to print them all, we have decided to publish them all electronically.
This will include both those reported, plus the ones we have discovered.
Below are the obituaries known to the Association.
If the obit was published in a CUB, the columns 'Vol', No', Mth/Yr' will indicate the issue of the CUB. 'Add' means not published in a CUB.
If you have a missing obit, or know the website of a missing obit, please send us an email.
