Subject Edward Somers

Comments: Hi, Edward Somers, CPL, US army was born in Ireland in 1905 and served with a tank regiment in world war 11. He was part of the invasion at Omaha beach, France. The army sent over a headstone when he pass away in 1975 here in Ireland. I am related to Edward and his brother ask me to find out, if I could, any details of his service. Edward never spoke of it himself. I would be grateful for any help in this matter. We don't have a service number for Edward as he left everything in America when he returned to Ireland in 1968.
Regards,
Martin

E-mail: bt739sr34sr@gmail.com

Subject: Thomas Curtin

Comments: My fathers uncle Thomas Curtin was born in 1893 in Chicago Ill. To the best of my knowledge he emigrated TO Ireland in 1901 and subsequently returned to USA. He joined the US Army and I believe became a non commissioned officer. He was fighting on the French Belgian border in the last days of WWI and was shot by snipers on either the 10th November 1918 or 11th November 1918.His father originally came from Listowel Co Kerry Ireland and my father remembers as a young man seeing an extract from an American newspaper which gave an account of his death and the fact that another person who died in the same attack was also from Listowel Co Kerry Ireland. My father passed on last year and any information about my granduncle and where he is buried would be appreciated.

Subject: Pvt. Louis H. Klopfer mia Marme 1918
Comments: Ahoy 3rd Division,
I bought an old mandolin at a garage sale. The mandolin had been hanging for many years in an antique store on Long Island, NY before its trip to the garage sale. Engraved in the top of the mandolin is what appears to be ports of call along the east coast of NY and NJ and many initials and symbols. There is a clear epitaph for L. Klopfer ,killed Battle of Marne, July 15th, 1918 I believe this mandolin was played by guys in his unit and may have made the trip to France and back. Marme Memorial Cemetery has listed a Louis H. Klopfer as missing in action in the Battle of Marme 1918 I am trying to find PVT Lewis H. Klopfer's family in NY city where he was from to return the mandolin to his relatives. Pvt. Klopfer was a member of 38th infantry regiment, 3rd division. Any information on this soldier would be appreciated. If I can't find the family would you like the mandolin?
Best regards,

Subject: 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division - Charles Edward Allen

Comments: I am searching for more information on my mother's uncle, “Pete" (Charles Edward Allen) He was a Pvt. in the 15th Infantry Regiment 3rd Infantry Division, who was killed on Oct 22, 1944. He is buried at the American Cemetery in Epinal, France. It is my information that he was resting on a box in a foxhole when a grenade was lobbed in and exploded. I would like to find more information to confirm this, for example, what battle this occurred in?
He was a Private when he died but he had previously been a Sergeant twice, and had been busted down to Pvt. for fighting. I will be sending for his military records, but I was hoping that there may be photos or personal accounts of his life in the service out there. He has no siblings left, but I am trying to get this information for my mom who is 80. I ran across your web site today and it certainly has a lot of great information.
Thank you.

Subject: BBC TV series - Operation Husky, WW2

Comments: Dear Sir/Madam,
Here at the BBC, we are planning a major new WW2 documentary series. This may well not happen for several months, but for now, I have a (kind of urgent!) question for you, which might help us know how to proceed.
I am trying to find out if there are men or women, part of the Society of the 3rd Infantry Division who served in Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, who might be willing and able to share their memories of this particular operation in 1943.
The actual filming is of course a way off, but do you think you might be able to suggest a couple of names to fit the bill, in the next 24 hrs or so?
At this stage, a couple of names with a few lines about their involvement, would help me take this project to the next stage: if there are suitable candidates, it would take our production in a particular direction, and if not, in a different one!
I'd be very happy to call you tomorrow if that suits.
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Edmund Moriarty

Email: heatherjayne7@gmail.com

Subject: Searching for 3rd Division in NY

Comments: Hello,
My name is Heather Johnson, proud granddaughter of the late PFC Peter Mercurio. I am writing today not to inquire on behalf of my grandfather, as you in the past have kindly helped point my mother and I in the right direction when it came to replacing his metals. However, today my inquiry is regarding my grandmother, Sadie Mercurio who will be turning 90 years young in December. I have been in contact with the 3rd ID in Virginia and they are being ever so kind as to have a commanding General write a congratulatory birthday greeting for her birthday so that we could present it to her. You wouldn't believe it but at 90, she still wears her 3rd ID pin on EVERYTHING, evening gowns included. I was hoping that you could help or at least point me the correct way, as to locate perhaps a member within our area. We would be honored if they could donate 20 min of their time to present this letter to her. As I'm aware the generation surrounding WWII is shrinking by the day, so I'm unbiased as to what war they served in. My hope is to just have someone from the division join us and make her day. We will be setting an empty setting for Grandpa on this day....
We have encompassed his spirit in almost everything we are doing for her, including parts of the toast which quote FDR's fireside talks.
I would appreciate any insight or help you would be able to provide me.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Heather

Subject: Request info on WWII soldier, 2Lt. James H. Dodderidge

Comments: Checking with St. Louis - the records for 2Lt. Dodderidge were lose in the fire. I was wondering if there was any other way I could find information concerning his service?
His Purple Heart was found in family items of my late uncle. He died during the invasion of Sicily. I suppose this was during 'Operation Husky' - it would be nice to know what unit he was with and if possible the events leading to his death and award of the Purple Heart.
What I've found:

2Lt. James Hungate Dodderidge, #O-496753
15th Inf Regt, 3rd Inf Div
Entered service from Kansas
Died: 16 July 1943
Buried: Plot J, Row 9, Grave 34 - Sicily Rome American Cemetery, Nettuno, Italy
Awarded: Purple Heart
Born: 7 January 1921, Hiteman, Monroe, Iowa

Father: Kenneth C. Dodderidge
Mother: Charlotte Hungate
That's all I can find out! Any help is appreciated,
