Subject: Searching for Stilly

Comments: To whom it may concern,
I am unclear if this is the right spot to search but I thought it might be a good start. My name is FC1(SW) John Redford. I am an active duty Navy E-6 (first class) currently serving at the Surface Warfare Officer School in Newport, Rhode Island as an instructor. I am in search of my grandfather, a member of the 3ID, stationed in Atsugi, Japan in 1949. I do not have a full name or social. Here is what my grandmother was able to remember of him:

- Nicknamed "Stilly"
- An E-5 or E-6 serving in Atsugi, Japan
- Served as a mechanic for a motor pool
- About age 26 or 27 in 1949 (born approximately 1922ish)
- From Wisconsin (Central or Northern)
- Blond-reddish hair, of German descent
- She says he could dance like a devil 'till the sun came up

Any information regarding Stilly would be greatly appreciated. His absence in my family's life has been extremely pain-staking. To find him would truly be a dream come true for all of us and become a remarkable story it its own right.

Can you please help me and my family?

Very Respectfully,

Marvin R. Murry Co D 409th Inf Service No. 36 051 805 DOB 12/24/1918 SSN: 333-16-1785 deceased. WE have what could turn into a big problem. I went to the courthouse and picked up a copy of this Murry's discharge. According to discharge he is eligible for VFW status. According to people who grew up with him he was never elgible for the VFW. Yet on his marker put up last week it states he won the bronze star. According to discharge which many of us feel it has been altered nothing is mentioned about the bronze star. It does list American Defense Ribbon, European African Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon with 1 Silver Battle Star 7 overseas Service Bars 1 Service Stripe and Good Conduct Medal. Listed under box 32 battles and campaigns Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europe
We need to know if this is authentic?

Subject: Christa Geuer Casey- looking for Afro-American GI that befriended her in 1945

Comments: A few Days before Christmas 1945, a little girl in cardboard shoes stood amid the ruble of a ruined German village, her sobs drifting in frosty plumes on crystal air. She was headed for school--but her makeshift shoes had suddenly come apart.
Her mother had wrapped the child's feet in salvaged cardboard, securing it with twine. But when the twine unraveled, Christa Geuer stumbled. She stood there, immobile, wondering what to do. Barely of school age, she did not know how to retie the knots.

The war was over, but the sight of American troops was common that Christmas season in occupied Zweibruecken, near the French border. As Christa--named for the Christ Child-- stood staring at her threadbare socks, a convoy of truck wheeled around a corner.

One of them stopped. A big soldier "with a soft voice and soft hands" jumped out, and in broken German said, "child, I know how it is". Then he tied up her knots and sent her on her way. Christa glanced back, amazed at his kindness, at his acquaintance with German, and at his face in her Aryan world, he was the first black person she had ever seen.

Christa Geuer encountered her soldier again a few days later, when he provided her a Christmas memory that would endure more than a half a century.
The highlight of that first post war Christmas of 1945 was the party that American Soldiers gave local children at the convent of Heilige Kreuz, the Holy Cross. The crowning moment came when suddenly before her was the very soldier who so recently had knelt to tie her cardboard shoes.

Now he knelt again--but this time he untied the twine. From a big box, he removed real leather shoes. One pair after another, he slipped them on Christa until finally a sturdy, ankle-high pair did the trick. As he laced them up, he commented discreetly on Christa's socks, kaleidoscopes of improvised yarns.

They were as pretty, he said, as Joseph's coat of many colors. Beaming, and eager to please him, little Christa stood up in her new shoes and did a pirouette. She stopped short when she was his tears; it puzzled her that he would weep while providing her such joy.

Now, she says, she knows more about giving and receiving--and she's convinced that despite all the tinsel and glitter, Christmas still shines brightest from the inside out.

Looking for any info available on Lt. Ann Visnovsky.

All her records were burned in St. Louis archives fire. Lt. Visnovsky was either on a hospital ship or in the Africa & European theatres. She was discharged on July 10th 1946, from Fort Dix NJ. She also entered the war from Fort Dix. The only unit information we have is the 9222d TSU TC NYPE, which may have been the transit unit returning after the war.

Ann Visnovsky was from Pennsylvania, was a diploma nurse from St. Mary's Hospital in Hoboken, NJ. She graduated from Univ of Pittsburgh in 1948, married J. Miner and moved to Denver, CO. She died in Massachusetts in 1961.

Any information regarding wartime service or someone who knew her after the war would be greatly appreciated.

Webmaster's note: Our website has a description of the term "Rock of the Marne" at http://www.warfoto.com/3rdsociety1.htm
The text of the story is:

Near Mézy, France, July 1918. Here the German Army made its last great attack of World War I.

It struck in the Marne River area along the road to Paris, and the weight of the blow fell on the 30th and 38th U.S. Infantry Regiments of the 3rd Division. This was their first fight.

Firing in three directions, blasted by artillery fire, taking all flesh and blood could stand, the regiments held on doggedly and threw the enemy back
across the Marne. This defense checked the Germans' assault and made an Allied offensive possible.

General Pershing called it "one of the most brilliant pages of our military annals."

Thanks to Lew Pergament for this information.

Comments:
My nephew is with the 3rd Infantry.  We were called today that he was shot.  Can anyone please give us an update on his condition.
The family is going crazy! His mother is in Florida and is wife in Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Thanks for any help or information you can give us.  I have been all over the internet trying to find a site with this information. 
He was being flown to Germany in critical condition with 3 gun wounds.

Comments: Dear Sir,
I am looking for any information that you can provide on the my grandfather, Richard E. Bauguss. I know he served time in WW II under Patton.
Unfortunately, he passed away before I was a year old.
I know he has a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, which my grandmother gave to me many years ago. He died in 1966.
He also served in the Korean War and retired a Lt. Col. I am mostly interested in his WW II service at this time.
I know I haven't given you much information but if you can provide any additional information, or point me in the right direction,
I would be extremely grateful. Thank you,
Darin Bauguss

I just wanted you to know that I have been searching and searching for years now, to find something, anything that would help me to find out what some of the information written on my Dad's WW2 Honorable Discharge means.
I have no family members to ask about the information, I have so many questions. Your site was the only one I just found that mentioned Naples-Foggia and the signal service. It wasn't much but it helped me to believe if I keep searching I will find something or someone who served in WW2 with my Dad, Charles E. Djemant.
