Comments:
I am inquiring about an uncle of mine, Frank Acker, who was in the 3rd Division,
7th Infantry, G Company during ww2.
He was killed in France in 1945 (Colmar region). I am looking for anything
online that would talk
about either him or the company he was in.
Finding anything online about
ww2 and the Cottonbalers is becoming scarce and I would love it if you or your
friends
could direct me where I might be able to go to learn more. He was from
Pennsylvania, a small community called Saegertown
in case that rings any bells, which I doubt, considering there was so many of
you there.
Any info, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.

Comments:
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone might have heard of my father. I don't
know much about him now because I didn't pay attention
like I should have when I was little. All that I know is that I he was in the
Army, in the 3rd Division and something like the 7th Infantry
or something like that. I have asked my mother but she isn't quite sure
either.
My father is now 81 years old and is in a nursing home in
Muskegon Michigan. He is originally from Thompsonville Michigan.
He was the youngest of 10 children. I remember him only mentioning 2 names
while he was in the war. I do remember him mentioning
the Bently Twins, I think it was Ray or Ralph. I'm just wondering if anyone out
there might have known my father Adam Ritchards.
He now doesn't have the "s" on the end of his name because the Army messed up
and took it off. So if you, your father, or grandfather
might have heard of him....please drop me a line or two. I would love to be
able to share some info with my father to possibly strike his memory,
since he is in a nursing home with Parkinson's Disease.
Thank you, Elvie L. Gadberry (maiden name: Ritchard)

E-mail: marcoviti@virgilio.it
Subject: Information about Presenzano
Comments:
My name is Marco and my surname is Viti. I am an university student in my last
year of an Economics and Business Studies degree. I am an italian researcher of
the World War II, in fact I am writing a book about the World War II: in
particular I would like to reconstruct the events which took place in my little
town, PRESENZANO, a little village in the Volturno area, next to Mignano Monte
Lungo (about 10 Kilometres), San Pietro Infine (about 16 Kilometres) and Venafro
(about 15 Kilometres).
I am writing to you because I know that you are a good source of historical
facts about military operations and units. According to my documentation the
general Mark Clark's Fifth Army camped in PRESENZANO from November 1943 and in
my town there was an American field hospital. As you certainly know, PRESENZANO
is situated in the vicinity of Mignano Monte Lungo (about 10 Kilometres) where
for the first time from 8 September 1943, the Italian Army (First Motorized
Group) fought with the allied nations and Americans.
I have a copy of a letter written by Mark Clark on 25 February 1980 to a citizen
of my little village (PRESENZANO), where the General Mark Clark affirmed that
Fifth Army Headquarters was at PRESENZANO as were Headquarters of other units
before.
I have also several articles about PRESENZANO written by E. Pyle on November and
December 1943.
From the National Archives and Records Administration I have found a motion
picture film with this title: “American soldiers, Presenzano, Italy (New year’ s
Day Meal)”; Production Date: 1944. From This Archive I have obtained 15 photos
that prove that General Mark Clark’ s Fifth Army camped in Presenzano during
this period.
On a photo there are Lieutenant General George Patton, Jr., CG, U.S. 7th Army,
and Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes, CG, II Corps, at Presenzano area on 8 January
1944.
On another photo of 29 February 1944 I can see Lt. General Mark W. Clark, CG,
U.S. Fifth Army, with to Maj. Gen. Willis D. Crittenberger and Maj. Henry C.
Lodge, staff officer, at Fifth Army Headquarters of Presenzano.
On a photograph of 6 November 1943 there is an American soldier, Cpl. John E.
Iovino, Lawrence, Mass., that is hugging his aunt whom he discovered in the
Italian town of Presenzano. The aunt and family had lived in the U.S. until
1930, when they returned to Italy.
On a photo of 27 February 1944 there is the Visit of General Giraud, Commander
in Chief of French Forces, to Lt. General Mark W. Clark at Fifth Army
Headquarters.
On the "LIFE" magazine of January 1944 there is a sketch of George Biddle, one
of best-known U.S. artists (that probably was with a battalion of the U.S. Third
Infantry Division) of a dead citizen of PRESENZANO. The article on this magazine
is: "A dead Italian lies in a coffin. Americans found him when they come into
PRESENZANO. He had been put to work by the Germans digging gun emplacements and
trenches. Later, on Halloween, they shot him at night behind haystack. In spite
of such cruelties as this, the Germans are usually well disciplined and commit
few wanton atrocities. They are, however, ruthlessly logical, will do anything
necessary for military advantage".
During World War II died several people of PRESENZANO: The Germans killed 10
Presenzano citizens.
I do not know Germans units in my little town, and of others nations. Do you
know any soldier who stopped a PRESENZANO during the war, even if for few days?
On the book "Countdown to Cassino", A. Bowlby, London 1995, Pen e Sword Books
Ltd, pp. 103 and 108, there is the narration of the presence and of the transit
of 1^ Special Service Force US-Canadian at PRESENZANO. Do you know if there was
any Canadian units in my little town?
I hope that you will be able to provide me with some materials of these events
of the World War II in my little town PRESENZANO (military map, videos, images,
pictures, magazine articles, any information): it would be very useful for me.
I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Yours Sincerely

Congratulations on a great job; keep up the good work.
As you can tell by the dates I listed above, I was fortunate
to have served in a peacetime Army.
Please don't mistake that comment for an unwillingness to serve during a time of
conflict. The men with whom I served found
a strong common bond even though we served only 2 years; 18 months of that time
was spent in Europe, in Germany.
Since 1959, a group of between 20 and 30 of us have dinner together in NYC to
keep alive the friendship which started so many years ago.
This year will be the 44th consecutive year this dinner has been held. I thought
that you and others who served in this proud division might like to
know what some of the post-Korean veterans have been doing to keep alive the
friendships and memories we made while serving our country.

shows Daddy assigned to 3360 Truck Co.
Comments: I probably put too much information in the subject part of this

that his weapon was a BAR. He talked about lying by The Rhine and hearing
sirens. He said not one bridge was left standing ,
and he had to ford all of them.
He did not talk very much about the war. I know he felt badly about what
happened. He lost a good buddy named Joe
when a projectile hit the white phosphorous grenade he was wearing.
Daddy talked about being in Nancy, France. He seemed to have some fond memories
of this place.
He mentioned the French female German Collaborators, and how they were stripped
naked, had their heads shaved,
and were forced to march through the streets.
There are many more things which I remember, but they are too
numerous to put here. I know that my brother, Yates Ward of Marshall, NC,

Comments: He was my uncle kia on 23 May 1944. as I was born in 1951 I never got
to see him and I don't have a picture of him.
I am hoping that someone might have known him or served with him in Italy before
he was killed.
Please if any one had served with him or has a picture of
him, please contact me. It might help to let you know that he was
from Connecticut and served with the 30 infantry regiment, 3rd infantry
division. Please contact me at
ddmuttly@aol.com.
Thanking you in advance

Comments: Hi, My cousin's father was a medic in the army and that he landed in
Sicily. That's all he knows about his father,
as the father didn't talk about it much.
The medic's name is Anthony Badalamenti. Do you have records of the medic in
the 3rd infantry?
I only found three infantries that landed on Sicily 3rd, 1st, and the 45th. The
45th said they have no record of Anthony Badalamenti.
Thanks Michael

Comments:
Would like any information on a 30th Infantry Regiment man believed to have been
killed in Italy. Henry "Hank" [Fredricks] was originally
with Company "A" - 133rd Infantry - 34th Division in Africa, and transferred to
the 3rd Division (believed to be the 30th Infantry) after the
campaign (June 1943 timeframe). It is believed [Fredricks] was from Sydney,
Montana. It is also believed that [Fredricks] served
with the Division in Sicily and Italy. It is believed that he was killed by a
sniper while filling some canteens at a well (date and location
are not known).

Comments: Hello, My father served with the 3rd Division on the 3rd Bn. of the
65th Infantry Regiment in M Company from 1951-1953
as a Corporal. His name is Ramiro Rivera Martinez, he is still alive (73) and
well. He was one the few that knew English
fairly well and after 6 months as a machine gun infantryman, served as an
interpreter between the officials and other members of the company.
He doesn't talk much about the war and after these many years
doesn't remember a lot of names from the top of his head,
but if anybody remembers him please send me an e-mail to the address provided
here and I will make sure he gets it.
I would really like to know if the 2 other soldiers that served with him on the
3-men machine gun team are still alive and remember him.
Best Regards and God Bless. Thank you for everything you did for us. We are
extremely proud!!

Comments:
I am writing a article regarding the artillery role in the "Kumsong Salient"
battle (13-20 July 53) north of Kumhwa. I was
Bn. Operations Chief/937th F.A. Bn. (IXth Corps 155mm gun-sp) and fired many
missions with 3 id arty
(Kirk-Kane-Knob was commo code names) Kane was 39th F.A. and I need to
know units for Kirk and Knob.
Artillery saved the battle when friendly forces "went south"
with 60000 CCF came down from Kumsong.
Share your memories with me by e mail. I am honored to have served (attached)
to the 3rd Inf. Div.
