George Baugh was a good man and a little bit stubborn and set in his on way but My Mother loved him with her all he meant the would to her and I do believe if he could have done that for her he would south we had our issues from time to time always called him pop if not for him sending my Mother to I.U. for a bone marrow treatment which gave us children 28 extra more year with my Mother so for that I can with whole loved him for that and many other things! I would also love to send prayers for his entire family may God bless and keep you out of harm’s way so in saying that R.I H.Sgt. Major Baugh Sir!

Memory of George comes from his grade school days at Little Flower. As l recall George took singing lessons. And there were times when he was asked to sing. Always thought he and his parents channeling his talents in that direction was a great idea.

George Baugh was a very nice man and our neighbor for 21 years. We owned a barbershop and I use to cut his hair and I love the stories he use to tell. I hate this so much he is gone. I hope his puppy Duke is ok. Much love to you and your family and Rest In Peace Sgt. Majors George Baugh. Tim and Ruth Doughty.
It’s now 2024. I remember George very well. I’m 81 years old now and still living in Indy. I spent several years along side George in the 38th Infantry Div., G2 Intelligence Section. George was an outstanding person in our unit. At one point when we were lower ranked a new Sgt Major took over our section from another Brigade. One day he told me he was going to transfer George out of the section and I asked why? He said george has an abusive way of saying things. I said to him you’d be making a big mistake. George has a very direct way of saying things but he is an outstanding worker and very valuable to this unit. After a few weeks that Sgt Major said I’m glad you spoke up. He is an outstanding soldier. Several years later another Sgt. Major of our section was retiring and George and I were both Master Sgt’s who were eligible for promotion to Sgt. Major. We both applied and George got the promotion. I later realized if I had not stuck up for him before I might have been promoted. He made an outstanding leader in the Intelligence Section. I later retired before he did. We both had Top Secret security classifications.
