Sharon Delaney, granddaughter of Ritchie Boy Frank Hauser, recently contacted us inquiring about his service. Dan Gross, RB historian, was able to provide the following; FRANK C. HAUSER was born in Austria in 1911. He emigrated to the United States and found work as a leather belt maker. On July 31, 1942 he enlisted at Fort Jay (Governor’s Island, NY) as Pvt (ASN: 32417389) Frank completed his Basic training at Camp Croft SC on November 6, 1942 and became a naturalized U.S. Citizen at Spartanburg, SC. He studied to be a Radio Operator with the 61st Signal Radio Intercept Company and in June 1944 was transferred to Camp Ritchie. His language specialities included German, French, Italian, and Hungarian. Ritchie Boy Hauser started his training at Ritchie on June 19, 1944 in the 20th Class 6/19/1944 as a German IPW. He graduated in August 16, 1944 as a German Document Examiner. In September 4, 1944 he was promoted to S/Sgt. He was released from Camp Ritchie on September 18, 1944 and traveled to Camp Kilmer where he embarked via RMS Queen Mary. He arrived in Scotland on September 25, 1944. He served with the 9th Army and was a member of IPW team 140 along with the following teammates. Members of this team: Lt. Fisher (1913-1991) Lt. Goetz (1920-1968) S/Sgt Frank C. Hauser (1911-1993) S/Sgt Norman Wagner (1921-1999) T/3 Sigurd Swenson (1922-2006) T/5 William Thatcher (1914-1989)

Ritchie Boy Frank Hauser was awarded the Bronze Star for Meritorious Achievement in Ground Operations against Nazi Germany during the Rhineland Campaign.

Frank Hauser's application for naturalization submitted to the US District Court's Western District of South Carolina at Spartanburg. Ritchie Boy Hauser sailed to the United States from Liverpool on the SS Georgic and arrived to the United States on March 27, 1940. In an interesting coincidence, my Father, Walter Lubran, also sailed on the SS Georgic in the Fall of 1939. Like Frank Hauser, my Father also trained as an Interrogator of Prisoners of War (IPW). RB Hauser served with IPW team 140 and my Father served on IPW team 141.

Sharon Delaney has provided these additional documents about Ritchie Boy Frank Hauser that refer to his being inducted into the Army at Camp Croft in South Carolina, attended ASTU training in Denver, and finally was sent to the the Military Intelligence Training Center at Camp Ritchie.
