His father was the North Carolina state treasurer from 1932 to 1948. Johnson Jr. was raised in Raleigh; but, attended high school at Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia. During his final year of high school, Johnson received his draft notice for service in World War II; upon graduation, he was inducted into the U.S. Army on June 6, 1943. Johnson completed basic training at Fort Bragg, N.C. He was assigned to a replacement pool of soldiers at Fort Meade, Maryland, in late-1943; then sent to a replacement unit at Camp Myles Standish in Taunton, Massachusetts, in January 1944. In early 1944, Johnson was assigned as a rifleman in the 79th Infantry Division, which was deployed to Europe in April 1944. The division arrived in Europe though Glasgow, Scotland; then traveled by train to England. Johnson was in England for a little over a month, training and preparing for the Invasion of Normandy, much of the time at a military camp near the village of Newton-le-Willows in Lancashire.  On June 13, 1944, Johnson?s unit landed on Utah Beach, Normandy, a week after D-Day. A few days later, Johnson first saw combat during the assault on Cherbourg, France. The division moved to Saint-L?, France, where they participated in the Battle of Saint-L? in July 1944. They then joined the Third U.S. Army, and began their advance towards the Seine River. The 79th Infantry Division established a bridgehead across the Seine River at Mantes-Gassicourt, which allowed the Allies to engage in the Liberation of Paris.  Johnson?s division moved across France with the Third Army, stopping in Lun?ville, France, for rest and training. The division then continued to advance towards Germany, and Johnson would spend Christmas 1944 outside of Strasbourg, France, near the German border. In February 1945, the 79th Infantry Division moved through Belgium into Holland. They saw combat near Maastricht, Holland, and on the Rhine River. In March 1945, they arrived in Dinslaken, Germany. By this time, the 79th Infantry Division had joined the Ninth U.S. Army, and would cease the advance when they reached the Elbe River in April 1945, which was the agreed demarcation point with the Russians.  After reaching the Elbe River, Johnson was transferred to the Ninth U.S. Army headquarters in Hannover, Germany. After a few days in Hannover, the headquarters moved to Braunschweig, Germany. In early May 1945, Johnson won a three-day pass to Paris, France. He was in Paris on May 8, 1945, when he learned of the surrender of Germany. Johnson remained in Braunschweig, Germany, until the Ninth U.S. Army headquarters was moved to Deauville, France. He remained in Deauville for about a month, then returned to the United States on the MS Kungsholm, a Swedish passenger liner used as troopship during WWII.  After his arrival in New York City, Johnson was sent to Camp Shanks in Orangetown, New York. Upon his arrival to the base, he learned of the Japanese surrender at Camp Shanks. He was discharged from the U.S. Army on November 11, 1945, at Fort Bragg, N.C., having reached the rank of Private First Class during his military service.  After his service in World War II, Johnson used the G.I. Bill to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He graduated with a bachelor?s degree in political science in 1949. Johnson married Jane Lee Parker on December 9, 1949, in Raleigh, N.C. After college graduation, Johnson and his wife moved to Charlotte, N.C., where he worked for an insurance company. They later returned to Raleigh, and Johnson spent the remainder of his career working in Raleigh. At the time of the interview, he was living in Raleigh."},{"label":"Digital Characteristics","value":"4 pages"},{"label":"Format","value":["Summaries"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"All rights held by the State Archives of NC.
