REQUEST #5427 Email: hosco6@aol.com Subject: John H. Gavin Jr. DOW 1/24/1945 Comments: Gentlemen, first, thank you for doing this. I am tracking the story of US Army PVT John H. Gavin Jr., Svc No. 31231271, from Manchester, Massachusetts, my late mother's brother. I am doing this with the idea of eventually telling his story. He was assigned to Company B, 290th Engineer Combat Bn, which was attached for a few weeks to serve as infantry with the 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division. He was a BAR man, and went MIA on 1/23/1945 near Colmar, and DOW on 1/24/1945. I do not know how the 28th's area of responsibility related to the 3d Infantry AO although I believe you were in the same area. I am just taking a chance that you may be able to refer me to information about what was happening in that area during the time my uncle lost his life. I would appreciate any assistance or recommendations. Thank you, Robert G Kilpatrick 22 West Point Rd East Hampton CT 06424 860-256-7527 cell hosco6@aol.com |

REQUEST #5425 Name: Kendida Tilley Email: kttilley@gmail.com Subject: Looking for a photo of a flag for gift My dad served in the 1st battle group of the 3rd infantry division with basic training in fort benning ga. then stationed in Aschaffenburg Germany. He was enlisted in Nov. 1958- Oct. 1960 approximately. His company was company D. I'm trying to find the correct flag or any pictures of a flag they may have used specific to that company so that I may have a flag made for him as a gift. Every year he goes to a company D reunion and I would really like to find something so I can really surprise my dad because he always speaks so highly of his time in the company and the men he served beside. He would really enjoy the flag flying below his American flag in our front yard. If it helps any more while in Germany he stayed in the graves barracks which I know has a different name in German starting with a B. I hope I have provided enough info to assist in helping me find a flag specific to his company. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my message. His name: James Kenneth Tilley DOB: 10/10/1935 Dee Tilley |

REQUEST #5424 Name:Inzirillo, Joseph P MIL USA FORSCOM Email: joseph.p.inzirillo@us.army.mil Subject: Division History Fellow Dogface Soldiers, I am with the 3rd Infantry Division Public Affairs Web Team. I have been with the Division for over 5 years and have a huge interest in the Division’s History. We are building a new Team Stewart Website and I have been doing massive amounts of research for the history of this great Division. The goal is to represent the entire history in a new light. To do this I am reaching out to anyone who can help. Your site has been amazing for this, but I want to take this even further. 1) I saw a book in the library call “The Third Infantry Division in Korea” that was sponsored by the Society and was wondering if it is available via your store or any other place I could get a copy? 2) Also, I am currently searching for the names of every soldier that gave the ultimate sacrifice in combat with the Marne Division. I have completed the lists for Iraq/Afghanistan, Korea and has the full list for World War II. I will need some help with World War I though. I am currently using the American Battle Monuments Commission to track most of the names down, but I know I will wind up short. Do you have any resources that may be of use for this? Thank you in advance for any help! ROCK OF THE MARNE!!! v/r Inzirillo, Joseph P.S. III CW2, SC 3ID PAO Web Team Work - 912-435-9873 Cell - 912-210-0842 |

REQUEST #5423 Name:Jacqueline Goodman Email : jgoodman@nyu.edu Subject: Looking for information on Bernard Goodman Comments: Hello! My name is Jackie Goodman, and my grandfather Bernard Goodman (b. 1924, Pittsfield, MA) served under General Patton at the Battle of the Bulge and was awarded a Purple Heart. Unfortunately, that is all that I know, as he never spoke of his experiences during the war. However, his youngest grandson (my cousin), who did not have the pleasure of meeting him, is very curious about his grandfather's wartime experiences, and I am trying to find out any information I came. If you knew or knew of Bernard Goodman, or have any ideas as to where else I can search, please email me at jgoodman@nyu.edu Thanks in advance! Jackie |

REQUEST #5421 Name: Sharon Tucker Email: stucker11626@att.net Subject: looking for uncle's wwii units Comments: I am researching one of my uncles WWII military records. His name was Ellis D. Tucker, SN: 38 356 049. He landed in North Africa in early 1943 and was part of the initial invasion of Sicily in mid 1943. There is a possibility that he was with the 3rd Infantry Division at that time. Is there a way to check your records for a PFC Ellis D. Tucker SN: 38 356 049; SS#: 431-07-9841 to see if he was serving with the 3rd Infantry Division at anytime prior to October, 1944. I know he served with the 36th Division from sometime in October, 1944 until he shipped home in November, 1945. He was in the infantry and fought from North Africa to Berlin. He served with Company E, 141 Infantry, 36th Division in France and Germany. I am trying to find the unit(s) he served with in North Africa and Italy. I have been in touch with the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis and his file was lost in the 1973 fire. I have some records from his time with the 36th. I am looking for his company and division while fighting in Italy. Any help you can give me will be much appreciated. Sharon Tucker 265 Hillsdale Street Eureka, CA 95501 |

REQUEST #5419 Name:Steve Bauer Email: smbauer@gmail.com Subject: MOH Winner Lt Robert Craig , 15th Inf, 3rd Div I am assisting the NOK of 2nd Lt Robert Craig in trying to find survivors of the action the killed Lt Craig in July of 1943. He was awarded the MOH and was buried in Sicily for 4 years. His remains were moved to Toledo Ohio in 1947. A ceremony is being planned for the spring on 2012 to have his remains buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Can you help? The plan is to invite any survivors that are willing and able to attend either the disinterment in Toledo, or the final internment in Arlington. Representatives of the 15th Inf would also be welcome. The President, Sec Def, and CoS of the Army will also be invited, but survivors would be the primary focus as attendees at the ceremony. Thanks, Col Steve Bauer, Inf, USA (Ret) 19 E Wedgewood Glen The Woodlands, TX 77381 |
