Pfc. Thomas W. Kilgore, of Macon Georgia, 121st Infantry (Georgia National Guard) near Hürtgen on December 7, 1944.
This photo of Macon’s Thomas Kilgore was used in numerous publications in 1944 because it symbolized the loneliness and fatigue of war. Kilgore returned to Georgia and worked as an electrician in the maintenance department for the Bibb County Board of Education. He never married and lived in the same house where he grew up in the Peach Orchard neighborhood of south Macon. Thomas passed away on February 25, 1982 at the age of 68.
