Subject: Pvt Steve Wolinsky 1919-1998

Comments: Dear Sir,
My name is Emmanuel Delaville, I am 43 years old and I live in France. I am actually doing a research about Pvt Steve (also known as Steven) Wolinsky who was a member of Company H, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. Mr. Wolinsky served from 6/10/1942 to 8/24/45. ASN: 33345756.
I am in touch with his Granddaughter, Kristin, but unfortunately, they lost all the pictures about him during a flood in 1972. Only one picture was saved but it is in very bad condition. Do you think it could be possible to find a picture of Mr. Wolinsky?
Best Regards,
Emmanuel

Subject: Research

Comments: Dear Sir,
I am trying to track down some info about my great uncle. His name is Nicholas Fantacone. He served with the 3rd during WWI and was killed in France in 1918. I think he was lost in the Battle of the Marne but I'm not entirely certain. I know from his grave stone that he was in the 30th Inf. Company E but what I don't know is the exact date of his demise. I'm planning on going there this year but would like to at least find the date of death so that I can figure out where he died. It might have been at Chateau Thierry.
I presently am at a loss as to where I can find this info so anything you can help me with would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
John Kenney

Subject: Documentary about WWII in Italy

Comments: Dear 3rd Infantry Division,
I'm Marco Curti and I work as a researcher and documentarist for a television production company based in Rome.
I've got your e-mail from your website.
Last year I worked for this project:

http://www.historychannel.it/wwiilaguerradegliitaliani/programma/

And now I'm in NYC and I'm making a documentary about Italian Americans who fought the WWII.
For this project, I'm searching for Italian-American war veterans still alive who fought in Italy during WWII, and who are willing to share their stories with us. I'm looking for personal anecdotes or personal stories of war and as you know this could be one of the last chance to interview the WWII veterans still alive.
I've already found some veterans of 10th Mountain Division, another from 82nd Airborne and I don't want to miss veterans from 3rd Infantry because they were one of the most important divisions who fought in Italy.

Do you think you could help me to found more Italian-American veterans for the interviews?
I'm available for every further question about me and the project.
Regards,
Marco Curti

My grandfather, Sgt. Frank A. Deputy, was in the 756th Tank Battalion. I was hoping someone knew him or has some information about him and his time in the service. If anyone has information, or could at least point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

Subject: Searching for LTC Brian Gale the first
Comments: Dear Sir/Mme:
I don't know if this is the right place to make inquiries; but, I am hoping you can steer me in the right direction.
My name is Catharine Vallieres, nee Cathy Buckland,born 1943. Brian was my childhood buddy for seven or more summers. We spent our summers on Sheeks Island, Ontarion, Canada on the St. Lawrence River system. This island is mostly under the Seaway. I am writing a history book about life on the St. Lawrence and wish to include the escapades of Brian and myself. I know that Brain and hisbrother Donnie and their mother orothy had moved to Daytona Florida, U.S. and Brian was in the armed forces as is his son, I see in some photos on the web at http://www.warfoto.com/100_2677_; but, I do not know how to contact either Brian or his son LTC Brian Gale, the Second.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you so very much.
