He had been stationed at Ft. Sheridan before the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, when he was transferred east to await further orders. So she took the train east on 12 Feb 1942 to meet him in Fort Hancock, NJ with plans to marry Corporal Walter Bylinowski on Valentines Day in Highland, NJ.

The ship he was on was torpedoed by an axis submarine off the east coast as he headed home for a furlough on June 10th 1942, and he was one of two bodies initially recovered, having suffocated from oil that poured from the fatally-wounded vessel. Bylinowski was wrapped in a life preserver, and clasped about his neck was a good luck charm his wife had given him the day he sailed for Iceland. The couple had planned a honeymoon on his furlough, and were to formulate plans for her to move to the community near the camp where he would take his officers' training. Members of the family had not learned the location of the camp to which he had been assigned, but he had written them that his transfer papers had been received.
