Subject: Walter Ray Schenck, Jr.

Comments: Do you have any information re my father, Walter Ray Schenck, also known as RED. 3rd Battalion, 15th Regiment front line medic, aid man/litter bearer - served Feb. 1941- all through WWII. He earned a Bronze Medal on Dec. 26, 1944.

He passed away May 14, 2008, age 92. He was a humble hero. At one time, Jackie Martin was a photographer traveling with the front line medics. She was going to write a book entitled, "Oh, Medic", but we doubt it ever got written. I am curious to know if my father's pictures ever ended up in a book. A German plane engine fell into my dad's foxhole and killed the major who had taken over the foxhole...an account mentioned in Rick Atkinson's book "The Day of Battle". I recently discovered 43 of my dad's letters to home, and have copied and bound in books for our family. I have 4 sons who want to preserve the trail of my dad thru the European Campaign, and we video taped him in a 3.5 hr. interview in 2004. If you happen to have any information we would appreciate it. We have searched on the other sites to no avail. Thank you!

I am a Life member of the Society (Aschaffenburg, 7th Inf BG, 1958-59) who is doing a story about Army sports in the 1950s-60s for ON POINT of the Army Historical Society. What I need to know is the BGs and their cities in Germany and the sports nicknames. Kitzingen, for example, was the Red Sox. Are there any sports photos of that era I can use to illustrate my story? I need any sports art of that era. Kitzingen was USAREU baseball champs in that era. Or any players from that era I can interview.

Subject: Harvey/Larson barracks

I was stationed at Leighton from 94-99. I also trained down at the Kitzingen Training Area. I now live as a civilian in Wuerzburg. A few weeks ago I went on a "recon mission" of the old bases in Kitzingen near the back gate on the other side of the train tracks/road I found some very old buildings. These were gutted and parts of them were half buried. I found a 3rd ID patch painted on one and lots of standard grunt graffiti "scouts out" and "nuke Iran" for example. Might you know the story of those buildings?

Harvey Barracks, 97318 Kitzingen
http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=de&q=Harvey+Barracks,+97318+Kitzingen,+Kitzingen,+Bayern&sll=51.151786,10.415039&sspn=13.634062,27.773438&ie

The area just North of the large white roofed warehouse. An obstacle course is located East of the warehouse. Probably the warehouse and course are new relative your time there as a service member. However, one can make out the partially cleared area just North of the warehouse on the map that I refer to. There is also a cement wall running along a berg that separates the warehouse and gutted buildings. I suspect it may have been a motor pool.

David

Subject: World War II - 3rd Infantry Division Information Request

My name is Erik Novak and I am contacting you today to see if you could direct me to a roster of soldiers for the US 3rd Infantry Division during World War II. My deceased Grandfather, Michael J. Novak, had served in the European Theater during World War II, but the information my father was able to provide me was rather sketchy. He informed me that my Grandfather had stories about his time in Italy, France, and was apparently present during the taking of Berchtesgaden. From the research I've done, it appears that the US 3rd Infantry Division is the only US force that would fit all three criteria.
My Grandfather was from Olyphant Pennsylvania and I believe was a Mess Sergeant. If you could direct me to a database containing the names for the US 3rd Infantry during World War II, or could direct me to someone who might be able to, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

My name is Andrea Byron and I am writing to you because I am trying to let Marines, dependents, Naval personnel and civilians who lived and worked aboard MCB Camp Lejeune in NC from the 1950s through 1987 that they may have been exposed to highly contaminated water. More than 70 chemicals were found in the water and many of them are known carcinogens.

The U.S.M.C. is asking anyone who was at Lejeune between 1957 and 1987 to register on their website at www.marines.mil .

Anyone looking for information regarding the contaminated water at Lejeune, including an illness registry, discussion board, photo gallery and historical documents library is invited to visit the website of The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten at www.tftptf.com .

My grandfather, Owen Wagoner Morrow, worked in the Finance Unit of the 3rd Infantry Division Headquarters Company during WWII. I am currently in the process of transcribing all of his letters home during WWII. I am writing with the hope that someone may be able to point me to a reference that will allow me to pinpoint his location (the location of HQ Company) at the time of each writing. Most of the letters state only "somewhere in Italy," or "somewhere in France." Any information your group could provide would be a great help.

Comments: I am trying to find someone who knew Louie Pearl Hefner who was from Missouri and stationed in Ft Riley in 1936. I have copies of envelopes where his foster mother sent letters to him at the Military Prison at Fort McArthur California. It was returned to the Guard House at Ft Riley Kansas. I have written Ft Riley and they wrote back and said it would take too long to try and find anything. It seems like every where we turn we hit a brick wall. My husband's family has been trying to find him as he married my husband's mother and then left her when my husband was six years old, never to be seen again. Since I have been working on the genealogy of my husband's family I have been trying to find anyone who might have known him or how I could find out anything. I wrote to SS and they said that his number was retired in 1955. I wrote a letter to them to pass on to anyone who might have been involved with him but they sent me a letter back saying they couldn't find anyone. He had four children the last one he never saw as he just up and left.
Thanks for listening to me and if you would know anyone or any organization that I could write to find out what happened to him while in service to send him to the prison and guard house.
Thanks-Joyce Hefner
