Walter V Budziszewski
Military ROLL OF HONOURImage stamped on reverse: ‘Copyright Current Affairs Ltd.’ [stamp], ‘Passed for Publication 16 Dec 1942. [stamp] and ‘238803.’ [Censor no.] Printed caption on reverse: '"Now send me a Hun" said Sgt. Walter Charles Buazisz, of 3510, McLeen Avenue, Chicago. Sgt Budzisz likes England all right but he wishes "he could get some American beer". He sends "Happy days" to his fiancee Miss Imogene Starbach, of Freewater, Oregon. Educated at Weber High School, Sgt. Buzisz hopes to take back some real he-man stories for the entertainment of the school. AC 85.' Roger Freeman Collection
I think that the typed up name in the official caption is a shortened version of Budziszewski's name.
