Maddox had been working in a Navy powder factory before joining the army in January 1942.

He would participate in the invasions of Guadalcanal, Bougainville, and New Georgia where he was wounded.

Despite racking up more then enough points to be discharged, Raymond remained in the fight. He had received a presidential unit citation, however sadly on May 14th he was killed in the fighting in Luzon.
