Unknown WWII Soldier
My Father-in-law, Cpl. Layton Wicksten stationed at 'Bengal Air Depot' C.B.I. Theater, 1942-1945 Commander Col. Frank Hackett, Agra, India. Dad did artwork for 'The Tiger Rag' & 'The Depot'. (he painted 'Mascots' on the pilots planes) Dad sketched a soldier waiting for his plane but never knew his name, I'm trying to find him. Perhaps he, his family or someone who knows him will see this drawing, he could still be alive, if not I would like to give the drawing to his family. (See "Stories" - Soldier)

I am trying to identify a Soldier in the Army in WWII. He passed through the Army Base in India in the 1940's, somewhere between 42-45. (his picture is attached)
My late Father in law, Layton H. Wicksten was a Cpl. in the Army stationed in India at the base called "The Depot" or "Bengal Air Depot" in the CBI (China/Burma/India) Theater, under the command of Col. Frank Hackett. (In or near Agra, India) Dad was an artist and did a lot of the art work for the newspapers "The Tiger Rag" and "The Depot". (as well as painting "Mascots" on the pilots planes) He featured a drawing of different soldiers from the Base on the back of most papers (Tiger Rag) as well as civilian personnel. He also did a beautiful painting of Col. Frank Hackett, that the Base presented to him at a party, I can't recall if it was a birthday, retirement, transfer or what.
One day Dad saw a soldier sitting at the airstrip waiting for his plane (he was not stationed there, he was on his way to where ever he was stationed) and
did a drawing of him but he never found out who he was. I have been trying,
with no luck, to find out who this soldier is. Could you put his picture in your newsletter or publications with the caption "Do you know this soldier?" Perhaps he or his family, widow, children, neighbors or someone who knows him will see it and contact me. I know I'm asking a lot, but I think it's a worthwhile endeavor and I hope you will too. Especially with what is going on right now, it would be nice to give this soldier's family a small part of him back.
I also gave a copy of the drawing to the Eisenhower Museum in KS, along with Dad's entire collection of pictures, drawings, newspapers and everything else he collected while he was in India, when he passed away a four years ago. They said it was the single largest WWII collection they had ever received. (The Naval Museum on Treasure Island, CA said the same thing when I donated all my late Mother in law's Navy possessions, her name was Helen S. Gordon aka Eilly or Scotty, including many telegrams and Naval stories, pictures etc. She was a WAVE stationed there in WWII)
This soldier could still be alive, but if not I would like to give the drawing to his family, it is very very good, Dad was a phenomenal artist. I know someone would recognize him if I could just get his picture to the public. If you have any suggestions of where else I could send this for help please let me know. I am attaching the drawing if you will help me by publishing this. The more people that see this the sooner I will find him or his family, I am hoping he is still alive. It would be ideal if the AP would pick this up, I have no doubt I would find him. Also several Army/Military publications/websites have agreed to post this.
******I wasn't able to attach the picture here, but if you will go to the Military photo site on AncientFaces under Unknown WWII Soldier or Wicksten you can see the picture.**********
Thank you for your help,
Linda Wicksten
