Allan B. Eadline was born in 1925 to George W. and Avis Eadline who lived at 144 Gay Street in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.  He was the youngest of four children: George G. Herbert S., Lloyd L, and Allan.  His father worked as a draftsman for the Railroad. 

Allan was educated at the Charlestown Consolidated School, located on Charlestown Road, just east of Devault (today the Charlestown Elementary School).   He later studied to become a master machinist. His family moved to Collingswood, New Jersey, while he remained in Phoenixville studying to become a master machinist.

He enlisted in the Army in September 1942.  He received training at Fort Eustance, Virginia, for the Coast Artillery, and was later transferred to the Infantry.

Allan served in the 182^nd Infantry Regiment, Americal Division.  The Americal Division (a contraction of American New Caledonian Division) was one of only two unnumbered divisions in our Army (the other was the Philippine Division).  As such, units, sometimes even battalions, were frequently joined with other units, producing much difficulty in following the battle history of the 182^nd Regiment.

Private Allan B. Eadline was Killed in Action on February 28, 1945.  According to a telegram received by his parents, Allan was killed on Leyte Island, Philippines.  He is buried at the Manila American Cemetery, at Fort Bonifacio, Manila, Philippines.

His brother, Lloyd, a P-51 pilot with the 78^th Fighter Group, was Killed In Action on February 24, 1945 over the Netherlands.  His brother George G. served in the Army Signal Corps.  Both were listed as from New Jersey.
