He apparently survived the war. He was thought to be living in South Carolina. Here is a group picture in the Hellcat News: https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth410700/m1/5/?q=Hicklin I will post another message. MW

Then look for the 17th. Read the articles by George Hatt. Also, read the article by Carl Lyons and also Carl Helton. Read the Journal of Operations of the 17th. I think Jack Hicklin was a replacement, perhaps he arrived after the battle of Herrlisheim, at the end of January, 1945. This is just a guess. M.W.
