with the 3rd Infantry Division. He served in Africa and Europe, was a forward artillery observer,
and saw very though duty like so many of the brave me he served with and loved.

My dad wasn't the type to open up much, but in his later years he did, and shared with me experience
of his life during World War II. I was honored to learn about and in awe of what our WWII veterans
went through- yet seldom discuss, boast, brag, or complain about....
Thank you for the service you provide to honor the memory of men like my dad

I would like to speak to any members of his family who may have questions concerning the circumstances of his death.

I am 87 yrs. old now, and think of the days spent in the war quite often. I think it is very important to share with his family what I know about Sylvester's death, and hope that you will contact me about him.

Comments:
I am writing on behalf of my father. He was stationed in Bogalusa, Mississippi in 1941. He is trying to find
a soldier that was in charge of his company. The man's name was Linton Barnes from somewhere
around Charleston, SC.

My father is 84 years old and Capt. Barnes should be around 86. He was in France with my father during the Normandy invasion and then at the end of the war they were in a reorientation center together in Newport News, VA.

That is the last time my father saw him. My fathers name is William Hassell Moore (Hassell)
Quite an unusual name. I do know that during the war my father retrieved and repaired tanks that were disabled.

Like lots of other veterans, my father never spoke of his war experiences. Best I can tell from the few things
that were in his tin box of memorabilia is he was in 3rd Infantry, 3rd Platoon, Company F, GK310A. This was taken from a service ration card in the box. It was issued March 1, 1944 and signed by 1st Lt. Co. F Gordon D. Rhoades.

My father was wounded in Africa, returned to service; was seriously wounded in Italy (I think)
and shipped back to California around December 1944. Was awarded the Purple Heart.
He was 18 years old when he enlisted. From Ames, IA. He died in 1989.

Subject: Walter Morowski-7th Infantry

Comments:
I am trying to locate information about my late father who served in the 3rd Division, 7th Infantry, Co C.
I know this information from his Award of the Purple Heart.
All of his military records were destroyed in the fire in St. Louis 1973.

I would very much like to hear from anyone who knew him or of the activities of his unit.
I remember my father saying that he was in Africa, Italy and southern France and that he guarded prisoners
later in Germany. My father was Walter Morowski.
Thank you for any help.

Comments: Recently I received my Uncles IDPF file (Individual Deceased Personnel File).
He was KIA on 4/13/45 in Germany near Bamberg. Under cause of death is says SFW Lt side.
Someone had told me that GSW means gun shot wound and IDPF's have been know to use that abbreviation,
however I cannot find out what SFW means. Can anyone out there help me out.

I have a letter sent to my grandfather from the Chaplain who said he was guarding German prisoners when the German Airforce flew over dropping anti-personnel bombs and one landed near him. I don't know if that would help.

Comments:
I am looking for a war buddy on behalf of my grandpa, Jack Indelicato. My grandpa served in WWII
in the 3rd Division, 15th Infantry, Company E.

He has many fond memories of serving with a man named Henery Thorn. He lost contact with Thorn after they were discharged together (from a Hospital in Illinois.) I am looking for Henery Thorn himself, or any family members.
I am told Thorn was originally from Ft. Wayne Indiana.
If it helps, I know they were both discharged on Jan. 19, 1945.
Thank you,
Anna Lea (Indelicato) Bruening

Subject: Searching for my father's comrades

Comments:
I am searching for comrades of my father's who may have served with him in the Seventh Army's Third Division
in WWII. I believe he may have been in the 278th Field Artillery Battalion, Battery B.

I have several photographs, some labeled with the following names: Robert "Bob" KELLER (of NY), Celie KELLER (female), (unk) SENE, Gene WITHAM, (unk) PERSCH, (unk) LENOX, Angelo CORVINO, Ed HOLDERBAUM (of Linden, NJ), Lt. Paul HAYES (of OK), (unk) LANDSMAN, Bernie ADELSON (of Revere, MA).

My father served in the European Theater (Italy, Germany, France) as well as in North Africa.

I would like to make contact with ANYONE who served in this division for their accounts of the war, as well as with anyone knowing the whereabouts of any of the individuals listed above.
Many thanks -
Jennifer

Comments:
My parents Eugene and Virginia Hampton knew Max Dolcater.
They are trying to locate him if still alive. When I was doing a search on the internet for him
I kept getting sent to this site. He was apparently involved in a book about the 3rd Division.

My parents fear he is deceased but would like to know for sure. If he is alive they would like
to know how to contact him.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Subject: William Charles Hammett Jr.

I am searching for information on my late Father. All I have to go on is his name and the insignia on his helmet,
which matches the diagonal blue and white stripes shown as the 3rd Infantry. I think many of his military records were destroyed in the fire in St. Louis 1973.
Is there a roster of officers (he was a second Lt.) or a list of Purple Heart recipients
(he was wounded but not killed).

Any help would be appreciated. My Father's full name was: William Charles Hammett Jr. Born 1920 died 1964.
