Subject: Corporal Wilson I. Flowers

Comments: I am looking for information (photo) if my grandfather, Wilson I. Flowers. He was a corporal in Company D, 13th Infantry. He enlisted into the army on August 12, 1914 through Columbus Barracks, Ohio. He departed the United States on October 5, 1914 and served in the Philippine Islands, returning to the United States on August 14, 1917. He was honorably discharged from the Army on June 4, 1920 at Hoboken, New Jersey.
If you could locate a photo of Wilson I. Flowers (whose name was actually Isaac Wilson Flowers), please, please let me know. I never met my grandfather nor have i ever seen a photo of him. It is my wish that I and my three sisters and brother will be able to finally put a face with the name.
Thank you for any help you can give me in my search for a picture of Wilson (Isaac).
Sincerely,
Katherine Austin

Subject: Picture, A Co, 38th Inf/38th Inf Regt/3ID

Comments: As you know most companies take a company picture. I have a tough one for you. Is there any way that I can get a copy of one. I was with A co. 2nd BG, 38th Inf 3rd Div. from March 1961 to April 1963, then A co 2nd Bn, 30th Inf. also the 3rd Div. from April to Oct. 1963. I think the company picture was taken 1961 or 1962. Are these stored somewhere? I am more then willing to pay for a copy of it. I am sure a lot of folks would like to have one if possible.
Would you please let me know either way.
Thanks for your help

Subject: Looking for Gus Holley - 153rd Infantry - WWI

Comments: Dear Sir:
I'm hoping you can tell me more about my great-uncle. He served in WWI (lied about his age) and WWII. Its' my understanding that he served in France and was gassed, but survived and later went on to serve in WWII. He would have been stationed at first, I think at Camp Pike.

His full formal name was Marion Augustus Holley, but he went by "Gus." The birth date on his death certificate is listed as Nov 26, 1896, and he died April 29, 1962. He was originally born in Delhi, Louisiana... but his sister (my grandmother) lived most all her life in Lonoke County, Arkansas, and he may have enlisted from there (Her name was Elizabeth Rogers, later Elizabeth Ellis.) His mother was Gussie Rogers, later Gussie Beauchamp. She lived for a time in Lonoke County, Arkansas also - and died there.
I have very little other information and would like to know more. Any assistance you can give would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

Subject: Clyde Dick of 3rd Infantry in Stuttgart 1962?

Comments: Hello,
I’m a personal historian working with a client to write his memoir. He served in the 3rd Infantry in Stuttgart in 1961 to 1963, in special services. I’m looking for a buddy who was with him at the time named Clyde Dick. Ideally, if the gentleman is still living, my hope is to speak with him and perhaps gather some photos from that time of him and my client.
I’m not familiar with the military system and had no idea how difficult it would be to find this person. If you have suggestions or a way of being of assistance it would be greatly appreciated. I would very much like to surprise my client with photos he does not own himself of his time in the service in Germany.
Thanks for any assistance!

Sherry,
The 3rd Infantry Division did not have any units in Stuttgart in 1962. Almost all divisional units were located in northern Bavaria - Wuerzburg, Kitzingen, Schweinfurt, Bad Kissingen, Wertheim, Aschaffenburg, Wildflecken and Bamberg. There was one battalion, the 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry, in Heilbronn, which is located 34 miles north of Stuttgart, so this may be his old unit.
Clyde Dick is not listed as a current member of the Society of the 3rd Infantry Division.
Not knowing the soldier's unit, it would be difficult to do much more research.

Subject: 3rd Division at Fedala, WWII

Comments: Hello:
As part of a book on a WWII era freighter (the S.S. SANTA MARGARITA), I am trying to identify the unit that unloaded her at Fedala around November 18th, 1942. Part of the D+5 follow-up convoy, She was carrying gasoline in 55 gal drums, 90MM AA guns, vehicles and 90MM AA ammunition.
I thought the men were from 2nd BN, 20th Engineers…but they left Fedala before the ship got there. The troops may have been QM troops either from the 3rd QM Company or from troops attached to the 3rd Infantry Division. I am looking for help to ID the unit and even better to locate someone involved.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort!
