Comments: My Uncle, MILTON W. CLEMENTS, JR. May have been known to his army buddies as "JUNIOR" OR "MILT". He was in the MEDICAL DETACHMENT 347TH INFANTRY/30TH INFANTRY 3RD DIVISION (these appear on his records). He didn't talk about the war, but he was a recipient of the Bronze Star. He received training at Camp McCain, MS, Fort Ord, CA and The Presidio, CA. His buddies or their children can use my e-mail address. Or if you know of a good account of his group's engagements (we don't know exactly where he was) in the European Theater please inform. Thank you veterans above and on earth.

Comments: I just began my search today for some information on my grandfather who was a 1st lieutenant with the 756th tank battalion. His name was Edgar R Danby and he was killed in action late August 1944 along with the other two men in his tank somewhere in southern France. He spoke fluent French and was a church organist by profession. This is my first shot in the dark, but does anyone remember him? I'll tell my Dad about your wonderful website, and keep searching...

Comments: My late father's uncle, Pvt. Lonnie L. Lumpkin, AEF, was assigned to
Company A, 7th Infantry Regiment (attached to the 3rd Division) at the time he
was killed in action in France on 26 July 1918. I believe he was killed during the
fighting at Croix Rouge farm. All official records of his death have apparently been lost, or destroyed in the St. Louis fire in '73. If any unit history information may still exist that would help me learn more about the circumstances of my great-uncle's death, I would certainly appreciate hearing from you.
