Biographical Notes

There is some disagreement about Villalon's date of birth. His U.S. World War II Draft Registration Card of 1917 stated his birthdate to have been 03/05/1893, while his U.S. World War II Draft Registration Card of 1942 indicated that the date was 03/05/1894. The California Death Index, however, listed the date as 03/05/1898. It is unclear why these discrepancies exist. His U.S. World War II Draft Registration Card of 1942 noted that Villalon, at age 48, stood 5-feet, 8-inches tall and weighed 185 pounds. He had dark hair and complexion with blue eyes.
