REQUEST #5469 Name: Domenic Pastore Jr. Address: 65 Leuba Road City,State, ZIP: Coventry, RI 02816 Email: dpast32@aol.com Subject: Company E (2nd Bn) 15th Inf. / 3rd Inf. Div. Comments: Hello, I am currently attempting to document the circumstances surrounding the death of SGT. Ernest F. MATHIAS, asn 31148036 of Providence, Rhode Island. Sgt. Mathias was assigned to the 3rd Division's Company E (2nd Battalion) 15th Infantry Regt. As far as I can discern, he was initially listed as an MIA, during E Co.'s assault on enemy positions during the "Anzio Breakout", on May 23, 1944. (Re: Operation Buffalo) Sometime later, on or about 17 July 1944, his body was located by GRS personnel in the vicinity of the May 23rd attack. His official status was now changed from MIA to KIA. As I'm sure your'e well aware, the events of 23 May 1944 were extremely hectic, & tend to resist any attempt at compiling into a usable timeline. From my brief look into the day's action(s), I found that E/15 initiated one of the few documented bayonet charges to have occuted during WW2 !! That charge may have been when & where Sgt Mathias became KIA ? If your organization has ANY information that may be of use to me in my research, I would DEEPLY APPRECIATE your assistance. I am especially interested in any data related to E/15 during May & June 1944, if you happen to have such data available. I THANK YOU in advance for your kind assistance, & will eagerly await your reply. Best Regards, Dom Pastore Jr. |

REQUEST #5466 Name: WENDY CANNING Email: wendycanning@fsmail.net Subject: Long shot!! Comments: Hi, I was just looking at your website for people trying to find out about ancestors who have a military background, and Im not sure if anyone can help, but it's worth a try!. I am trying to find my mother's father, all I know is that he was based in Maindy Barracks in Cardiff, Wales around 1937, my mum was born in 1938. My nan would never talk about it, and there is no father's name on my mother's birth certificate, we think he was an American Soldier, I don't know what regiment he would have been in, my only hope is that someone may have had a relative who served there during that time, so at least I could find out which units were based there then. My mum's mum was called Iris Whitcombe, and I would really love to help my mum find out something. Any help at all would be great!! |

REQUEST #5465 Name: Larry Fitzgerald Email: ljf501@msn.com Subject: Dog Face Statue Years ago I was a member of the 3rd MP Company, 3rd Infantry Division, and was stationed at Leighton Barracks in Wurzburg Germany. At that time on post there was a Marne Garden and in it was a large bronze statue of the 3rd Division’s Dogface Soldier as shown on page 29 of the most recent edition of The Watch on the Rhine. What became of that statue. It was quite large and I’m sure expensive to move. Is it at Fort Stewart? I know the post has been returned to the Germans and I know the 1st Division was there for some time before that. Could you let me know? Thanks. Larry Fitzgerald Webmaster's Note: I believe the statue was moved to Fort Stewart in Georgia.  |

REQUEST #5464 Name: Shirley Rebouté Email: shirley.reb@wanadoo.fr Subject: Dean Harvey Comments: Hello ! I'm looking for the exact name of the company who was in Champagnole (Jura) in September 1944. My mother and my father met in this city. My father Dean b. Harvey was Metis afro American. He had landed in Provence summer 1944. I think it was Sergeant-major.

REQUEST #5463 Name: Jeffrey Freeman Email: JFree99877@aol.com Subject: My Grandfather in the 76th Dear Sir, Comments: My grandfather Samuel Zerbe served in the 76th field artillery (Bat A) 3rd Division and served through the war, and right through the post war occupation in Coblenz Germany. He was president of Society of the 3rd Division 1967 at the reunion city of Tacoma Washington. I am looking for any information of the 3rd's post armistice period as an occupation force in Coblenz. I have found very little, and would like to compile a more complete account of that time for him. After the fraternization ban was lifted, my grandfather met my grandmother (a German national) at a local dance held by the German Red Cross. They ended up marrying in 1920 and she emigrated with my grandfather in 1921 to United States. I am also looking for any information about the 1967 Society reunion where there were quite a few members from the 76th present as I remember as a child him talking about it. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Jeffrey Freeman I have attached several photos, and have more if you are interested. I also have a hard back book of the 3rd divisions service record from 1917 through 1919 which was printed in Germany and offered to all veterans of the 3rd back in 1922.
