Son of Henry Corbishley and Grace Merilda Baker. Gene legally changed his last name from Corbishley to Corley in Feb 1951, per the SS Application.
Per his niece Judy: His father was so mean to him that Gene did not want to be associated with the Corbishley name.
My Uncle was a hero in WWII, a paratrooper. He and his squad liberated three concentration camps. In one of the camps he found a German Shepherd with pups. He took a male pup and named him Nip. Gene jumped all over the Pacific with his dog. He brought Nip home. We all loved him and of course my Uncle dearly. He was truely a free soul, drank to much, smoked to much and chased women to much. My Mother raised Gene most of the time - she worshiped him. She sat by his bed while he died for several days and sobbed. He received many medals and two purple hearts. I did his history during his time in the Pacific. Judy
We had a military funeral. He is buried next to his mother Grace Hansel, step-father Perry Hansel, and my father James Drewett Devlin
His siblings Anna Marie Corbishley, Mae Corbishley and Margarite Corbishley
