Hubert's brother, Oscar Batten, was born in 1923 and worked as a farmer while young. "In January of 1944 he went to war as a Gunnar's Mate for the US Navy. He served aboard the USS Bryant and the USS George gaining a Purple Heart (and a steel plate to replace the top of his skull) and was discharged honorably just in time for Christmas 1945. He later took his wife - Lawanda Josephine (Wyse) Batten - and children to Pittsburg, California for a job at the steel mill. I remember my grandfather as a wonderfully funny man who was never to busy to play with my sister and I.
Oscar was cremated and his ashes scattered at sea." Told to me by his granddaughter.
Hubert also had an Uncle David Oscar Batten who was wounded in action during WWI.
