I found an article for a William L. Abbey who was joining the Army around the same time as this William L. Abbey -https://www.newspapers.com/clip/117711568/herald-and-news/.

There's also a WWII draft card for a William Lemoine Abbey, born 1927, who was a student at the University of Oregon in 1945 -https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/36601617:2238?tid=&pid=&queryId=9b6ef3e075f96e3f37693240aaa8095f&_phsrc=QBb2&_phstart=successSource

The William whose draft card I linked, died in 2007 -https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=3693&h=80092983&tid=&pid=&queryId=bdbba1d284506c6c8fab1af916ea1cd3&usePUB=true&_phsrc=QBb5&_phstart=successSource
