My father, Charles Raymond Davenport (passed away in 1986) was in the 3rd Infantry Division, 
Company G, 30th Infantry. I am trying to trace my father's unit's movements/campaigns from WW II.  
and he was in G Company, 30th Infantry of the 3rd Infantry Division. My mom gave me copies of his 
discharge papers last year. I'm still trying to figure out if he was in the 3rd or 7th Army.  
He arrived overseas for the war January 14, 1945. My mom said he crossed over the Rhine at Worms, 
but that's about all I know.
Your site (Bill Heller website) is the only one I found with the same patch as my father who passed away in 1986. 
One of the photos on your website is one of the 30th Infantry Regiment "Raiders" hunting snipers in France. 
Do you have any information on the 30th Infantry? Is there a way to enlarge that photo?
My mom gave me copies of his discharge papers this past year & I've been trying to locate his units 
movements/campaigns. Any suggestions? 
I wrote to the military office in St. Louis (sent copies of his discharge papers & a letter requesting information), 
that was over 8 months ago & I haven't heard back from them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Sincerely, Mary Ann Davenport

Subject: 3rd Infantry, 15th Regiment, information about my grandfather

Comments: I would be interested in learning more about my Grandfather´s experiences in WWII.  
He was with the 3rd/15th.  He´s still alive in California while I currently live here in Europe.  
I see him only once every two years and I try to ask him as much as possible about his experiences 
when he was here but he can only remember so much.  He fought at Monte Cassino, Cassino, 
and landed in the South of France.  He remembers the names of places like Lyons, Strasbourg, 
the Colmar pocket, and ending the war in Salzburg and then being transferred to Munich before returning to the US.  
He fought on the front for many months before being made a General's orderly.  He recalls General O´Daniel, 
General Young, and General Clark but he doesn't recall much more.  I'm currently traveling back to Prague 
from Barcelona Spain and each chance I get, I try to retrace my Granddad's footsteps and try to take some photos 
so I can send back to him.  If anyone has been back to places like Besancon, Colmar, or the like 
and can recommend places to visit, I'd be greatly appreciative and would share my photos with you.

P.S. Thanks so much for the efforts you've placed in your website.
I sent a personal notice and request today but forgot to add the following items about my grandfather.
One, his name Joe Joung, PVT
two, a very distinguishable feature.....he is Chinese.  I'm sure there weren't very many Chinese-Americans 
there and I've often wondered at the look on the eyes of a German or Italian soldier 
when they came face to face with my granddad.

Comments: Anxious to know if anyone remembers my dad being wounded 5-1-1945 on the way to take 
Hitler's Eagle's Nest?  he is John M. McDonald 38-424-724  enlisted Decatur, Wise Co. TX. Dec. 1942 
and inducted into the army Dec.1942 at Dallas, Tx. He was always with 92nd Signal Battalion, Co.C. 
It was attached also to the 2nd, 5th, and 8th infantry and U.S 82nd Airborne. He may have been with the 
2nd French Armored going to Eagle's Nest. He never received the Purple Heart which he was entitled to. 
It would mean so much to his 80yr. old wife and his children.  How can we get this done?  
Maybe someone recalls him.  Thanks much Barbara.

He died near Volturno in Italy October 13, 1943 and was awarded the Silver Star for his actions.  
Prior to Italy he was in North Africa.  From an envelope I have he sent from Camp Elliott, CA

I am assuming he was in the 7th Inf.  Anyone out there who was in that same unit.

I found your website in my search for information about fighting in the town of Colmar 
during World War II.  My father always said he was captured in that town on 5 January, 1945.  
Members of his army unit say he must have it mistaken for Offendorf to the north.  
I don't believe he could have been that wrong.  The two towns are not close together, 
nor are the names at all similar.  It seems unlikely that he could have confused the two.  
I am hoping you can direct me to more information about fighting in the town around that date 
so that I can try to clear up the mystery.  I want to honor his memory by preserving his history 
and passing it on to my own sons and future generations.
Thank you for your time in reading this and my thanks and respect to all our veterans.  Robin Rogers

He died shortly after the war and I never knew him and my grandmother didn't know much of his war experience.

trained at Ft. Riley and was from Lawrenceville, Illinois.  His full name was George Victor Gray,
and he was 20-22 years old at the time of the war.
I am a veteran and would really appreciate knowing something of his time in the service, if possible.
