Request: Looking for information on the 18th Field Artillery of the 3rd Infantry Division
during WWI. My grandfather, Pvt. Robert Teesdale was with this unit at St. Mihiel Offensive, 
Chateau Thierry  and finally, the Battle of Verdun where he was wounded and sent home 
(within two weeks of his mother dying in the 1919 flu epidemic and his brother drowning 
in the Skukyhill River, Philadelphia). He was a member of the Third Infantry Association 
until his death in 1955. I never knew him but have grown up with a tremendous 
appreciation for his courage and his commitment to freedom.

Subject: WWI/MARNE DIV.

Hello, I just discovered your web site and it is great. Could you
recommend a book(s) that focuses on the Marne Division during World War I?
I am real interested in personal recounts of their experiences.
I happen to own an original helmet from that era that was painted with
the division patch, the American flag, and numerous other flags that may
be "state" flags from this soldiers travels in Europe during that time.
It is an interesting piece of war history that I have hung on to for
over thirty years since purchasing it at a yard sale in southern
California when I was a kid. Any help would be appreciated.

I am working on an article for Military History Magazine about the activities

From this battle the 3rd was forever called the "Rock of the Marne".

My question is: Does your organization carry photograph reproductions for sale 
showing 3rd division personnel during this time period? In particular a picture 
of General Joseph Dickman and/or other officers?
Many thanks for your time.

Request: What's up Marne Dogs. Just trying to find some buddies out there. I served in the division twice. First time was in Germany from Nov 88 until Oct 91. I was in A 6/41 FA. I've been trying to get some Gulf War data from the web but every place I go only list 2/41 FA as going to the Gulf. I wish someone would fix that. 

My second tour was when the division re-flagged at Ft. Stewart, GA. I was there from Jul 95 until Nov 98 in A 3/41 FA (later changed to 1/9 FA). This would be a very disappointing time for me because the commanding general at the time of the reflagging changed the words to the division song to make it politically correct or gender neutral. This was very wrong I think. If you have ever served in the 3RD you would know why. No one person should be allowed to change history or forget the men (and women) who forged that history with their lives. Well enough of that, if you remember me or just want to chat e-mail me. ROCK OF THE MARNE!!!

Subject: Looking for......
I am looking for a copy of Yank Magazine....could be called the best of Yank.
In the magazine is a tongue in cheek description of the Army's Whistle, tenderly referred to as the US Army Whistle, Thunder M1. A part of the description includes "The whistle cylinder, the whistle, cylinder, reverberating cork, the upper and lower teeth guard assembly's and the compressing blow channels.
This was a bit of humor paraphrasing the military nomenclature system. I think I last saw it in an Army library about 1952 or so. I could appreciate your father's stint in the service. I, too, was a military photographer. If you can help me find this magazine or the original column I would certainly appreciate it.

Subject: 3rd Aviation Company

Hi, My name is Bill Todd, and I run a website that is dedicated to the
12th Aviation Company, of which I was a member from Jun '61 to Oct '63.
We flew the DeHavilland U-1A Otter during my stay. I was a mechanic/crew-chief, 
MOS 671.20
My website URL is: http://www.geocities,com/twelfthaviation/index.html
Part of one of my website pages that I'm developing is a short history
of the companies using the DeHavilland Otter in full-strength companies.
I've been led to believe that the 3rd Aviation company was one such
unit. I'm trying to locate sources for data, deployments, photo's,
patches, etc.
Please give my E-mail to anyone concerned with the 3rd Aviation
Company, and please feel free to give me indicators, pointers and
leads...they will all be gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance, Bill Todd

Request: I am looking for anyone who was involved in (or has knowledge of) the recovery of knocked-out Sherman tanks with the 3rdID. I am interested particularly in this practice during the Southern France campaign of Aug 44 to Dec 44. I believe damaged tanks were trucked back to Vehicle Collection Points (VCP's) and either refitted or scrapped depending upon the degree of destruction. Does anyone know where the VCP was for this time period, or what unit handled this task (Service and Supply?) What procedures where followed? Where photographs taken of these tanks? Were reports filed as to their condition? Anyone with any insight on this operation is most welcome to contact me!

Request: Sgt. Charles Lamar Landers (last residence Sanger,Tx)
  Deceased, Fathers Day of 1997 
Charlie was my grandfather, I have missed him terribly since his death in 1997. He was one of the biggest influences in my life. I am very sorry he never got to meet my wife or his great granddaughter, he would have been very proud. I get my middle name "Lamar" from my granddad and I will always be proud of that. 
I am wandering, if there are any pictures of my granddad from his time of service in the army, or anything that relates to him that could be sent or e-mailed to me. I am just looking for something to connect to him with and share with my daughter so she knows what a great man he was and what he did for his country. 
I will always remember what those young men did for their country during WWII, I will tell my daughter and make sure she tells her children so it will never be forgotten. 
Thank You,  Joseph Lamar Landers

Request: My father was Guillermo Martinez who passed away in 1989. He served in Company A of the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion which was attached to various Divisions and Armies including the Third Infantry Division during WWII. I have very little information on his war experiences but am desperately trying to collect anything to honor his memory. 

I am especially trying to contact any of his tank crew who served with him. They are S/Sgt Girlando Castranova (Tank Commander), Tech 5 Tony Carlucce (Radioman), Tech5 Joseph M. DeJulius (Asst. Gunner), Pfc. Elmer Ballantini (Loader), Pvt. John F. Amaro (Gunner). 

Also like information of Thomas Kelly, who my dad noted as a fighting fool and the pride of the 601st, and Colonel Walter Tardy, who my dad said was the best damn colonel in the whole army. Finally I would to locate a copy of the battle record of the Third Division which gives details of the 601st' part in WWII. Please respond if you can help?
