1945. Was in many battles and campaigns;Tunisian - Rome - Arno
- Southern France - Ardennes - Rhineland - and Central Europe.
He never had a furlough! 

Glen(Joseph) was a very kind and gentle person when not
drinking. 

It was a different story when he was. Joseph, like others from
this generation of McMahan's was a heavy drinker. While
researching Superior court records for drinking arrests for
Leo Owen McMahan, I located a number of them for Joseph Glen
McMahan as well. Feb 23, 1951; 1951(the month and day are cut
off);  Oct 18, 1960(drunk and disorderly, he recieved 10 days
in jail); Oct 20, 1960; Nov 21, 1960; Mar 20, 1961; Mar 23,
1962, Mar 28, 1962; Apr 09, 1962Feb 13, 1963. There are
probably others.
