Comments:
My son David, Who is stationed in Germany is trying to located the battlefield area where my Dad, Lum David Fambro was wounded.
My Dad's Honorable Discharge only stated that he was wounded on the 11 Feb. 1945 during the Rhineland Campaign. They have him listed in the 1939 SCU for his organization. He arrived in France 23 Dec 1944. He returned to the USA on 26 Mar 1945. He stayed in the Baxter General Hospital, Spokane, Washington until he was discharged from Service on 3 Nov. 1945. ARMY SN 34 939 051. He took his basic training at Camp Wheeller, near Macon, Ga. from 11 July 1944 thru 9 Dec 1944. He attended the Adjutant General School Fort Oglethorpe School. My Dad died July 1966. We have very little information on his battles. The best that I can recall was that he was in the 3rd Army, 3ID, and was assigned to a tank outfit as a scout and sniper. His discharge states that he received the European African Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Medal, Purple Heart Medal, American Theater Ribbon, World War 2 Victory Medal, and the Good Conduct Metal. We thank you for any help that you can give. My son is stationed near Bitburg, Germany. He thinks that his Granddad fought near his house.

Comments: My father, 1st Sgt. Oren Adolph Hudgens, was killed on the USS Lansdale-DD426 on the night of April 20, 1944--8 months before I was born. My mother never remarried and refused to speak about him. I was taken from her due to being abused and grew up in foster homes--fantasizing that my dad was not actually dead and would appear and rescue me someday. Childish thoughts long gone, but I still yearn to know something--ANYTHING--about him as a human being. Is there anyone out there who served with him and can tell me any snippet of a memory you have of him? God Bless and thank you.

Comments: I need a profile of the late General Soule who served in the Army during WWII in the Philippines and his command in Korea. Would like to know where he is interred and the date of his death. {Webmaster's note: Our website has photos and some info about Gen. Soule at : http://www.warfoto.com/3rdsocietyphotos4.htm }

In 1932 my late uncle Henry Ekvall, along with three companions, was murdered in far away China. 65 years later I determined to get to the bottom of the episode, and I did...thanks to my career training as an investigative reporter, journalist, editor and publisher.

The late career Army officer Robert Soule has a major role in solving the mystery. He was a lowly lieutenant and assistant military attached in Peking at the time.

My name is Randall Dunkin and I have recently undergone a search to find out more about my grandfather's life in the army. He served in the 3rd Infantry Division as a Medical Aidman 657. I am hoping you may be able to give me some information or guidance in my quest.
Here is all the information that I have:

Time period served: 18 Feb 1941 - 23 Jul 45
Battles and Campaigns: Tunisian, Sicilian, Naples-Foggia, Algeria-French Morocco
Awards: 4 Bronze Stars for Tunisian, Sicilian, Naples-Foggia, Algeria-French Morocco campaigns.

He was also trained as a light truck driver, in addition to a medical aid man. All this information is from a copy of his separation papers that I have acquired from my father. It also states that he was with the medical detachment of the 30th Infantry.

Comments:
This is a request for any info on reunions of the 2nd BN 39th Arty or any folks that served I HHB from '66 to '69

I was in the HHB from April 0f 1966 to Jan of 1969. When I arrived there was a young weeping willow tree that I like to think was a lot like us strong good looking and with a long future ahead of us..

When I was in Bosnia with the 109th MPAD in 1999 - 2000 I took a leave in April and drove to Ledward Barracks. The tree is much older now and it looks a little worse for wear and I don't know how much longer it will be around....The post is almost unrecognizable.
The only building that has not changed a bit is the old post chapel which has been neglected much like the old willow. Millions of dollars have been spent for total remodeling of the old buildings.
The old Gary Owen 7th Cav tank is gone and a piddly little civil war style cannon sleeps there now. All signs of the 3rd herd occupancy have been erased. The old bombed out billets have MWR offices in the basement and tennis courts on the top. It all looks 1st cabin.
The Med Det is one of the last buildings to be renovated and was breached with scaffolds when I was there. I actually talked to the club mgr; when I was there in the 60's he was the cook at the "Gladiator PIT".
Hell, who says you can't go back! I DID! Many fond memories of the unit that raised me. I did most of my growing up in the unit and 1SG Roger Lowe was the father I never had. Even today, when I meet another Marneman, I salute them with a hearty "Rock of the Marne"
Like and old tree, I will retire next March from the active reserve component having served as much time on active reserve lately as I did on active duty. Of all my service, I am most proud to have been a Marneman. MSG Emil T. Mc Bride

At the weekend, I purchased a set of one man's WWII photographs of American infantry. they showed the photographer as being from the 18th Infantry. He passed Neustadt, Germany August 1945, and also the 582nd Orchestra at Maxdorf in Germany, July 1945.
He also features the Rainbow Corner Hotel in Paris, April 1945. the reverse of the photos contain some locations, dates, and names. His friend was Ken Arnott.

Do any of you know of any websites that may help me find out more about these people, as they may like to see these pictures once again.

Subject: Domenic Salvo

Comments: I am looking for information on my uncle, Tech. Sergeant Domenic Salvo. He was killed in France, we think in Alsace Lorraine, on Dec. 23, 1944 (When the family was notified of his death they stated Dec. 23, 1944 to Jan. 12, 1945, they were not sure of the exact day he died.) He was buried in the U.S. Military Cemetery in Epinal France for 2 years until he was moved back home to Philadelphia, PA. As far as I know he was in the 3rd Army, 346 Infantry. He was in FT. Leonard Wood, MO in 1943.

Subject: PEFTOK Avenger 14 BCT

Comments: Hi. Great Web Site. I have in my possession a cigarette lighter made by Penguin (just like a Zippo) with an Avenger 14 Insignia on the front of it, and on the back is PEFTOK 1953 with a pic of Korea and the 38th parallel engraved on it. On the bottom it has the number 19531. I don't have a clue where I got it, I've had it quite a while. I'm sure this is a keepsake with a lot of memories to someone that served with the 14th bct. Heroic bunch, my hats off to you, and thank you for your service to this great country. Anybody with info on this contact me at the above e-address
