Subject: Father, Pfc. Russell Robert Carr

Hello, my name is Jeffery Carr, and I am looking for any information that you have about my farther Pfc. Russell Robert Carr, army sn. 36 373 276, during WWII. I have his army separation papers from 1945. His date of discharge was 10/03/1945. He enter service 9/19/1942 from Chicago IL.
He left the army from I company of the 255 inf division after being transferred from the 106th division in Aug. 1945. He shipped out from the ETO in Sept. 1945. This information I got from the historian of the 255th, but he did not know what company in the 106th he came from, and the 106th wants to know what company he was in before they look for any information.
From his separation papers he was in Sicily and Rome Arno and African middle eastern Theaters, I bring this up because the 106th did not go into action until Dec. 1944, so he must have come from someone else, the only other division that was in those Theaters was the 3rd ID ?
Anything that you could do to help would mean a great deal to our family, my father died in June 1969.
Sincerely
Jeffery Carr
