Subject: I am interested in the Third Infantry Division information from the
WWII period.
Comments:
* Specifically, I have seen a picture of a Black soldier who was listed as
having served with the 39th Field Artillery during WWII. Could you clarify
which units within the 3rd Division had Black troops attached or assigned
during WWII?
* The 7th Infantry Regiment created "battle patrols" for the Southern France
Invasion and they wore patches on the right breast pocket of their M43
jackets. Do you have a picture of the battle patrol patches that you can
download? I have seen a blurred photo of the patch. It looks like a ball cut
in half, with the straight edge pointing downward. It has a cloud with a
lightening bolt going through it. The words "battle patrol" are written across
the top in an arc. I'd like to see a clearer picture and get details on the
colors of the patch, when it was worn, etc.
* The Army assigned unit serial numbers and invasion bars to mark unit
vehicles and equipment. This was done for Normandy, Southern France, Anzio,
etc. Can you reference the correct unit (3rd ID) serial number and bar code?
If you could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Comments: Hello,
My name is Jan and my Father in law Harold Morrical ( enlisted Chicago ,Ill)
was in the Sig HQ Opns Co A 927th Sig Bn
1943-1945 . We have no idea what he did there. Since he didn't ever speak much
about the war other than to say he was in it. After the recent death of my
Mother in-law we are just now finding boxes of pictures from WWII all with
written documentation and journals he wrote during the war.
Looking at the pictures on your site one becomes very moved at what you all
endured.
What is a signal corp? This is my first web search re:ww11......I am
profoundly moved by what I've seen and read.
I only wanted to find out what all the medal he has are for,do you know where
I can find this information?
Once again thank you for the information on your site. I will from this day on
count my blessings for every thing each and every American did for the world
during WWII. Thank you.

Subject: Information on my fathers tour of duty in WW2
Comments:
To Whom it may concern
I am the son of Charles Anthony Brondello and I am researching his earlier
days. Charles Brondello has passed away and left some information on his tour
of duty during WW2. I am now trying to document and possibly expand on the
stories he told me when I was younger. This information is for my future
descendants and also for his sister who is of advanced age.
To assist you in finding any information you may have available I have the
following information from his discharge card...
Brondello, Charles A.
Date of Birth Feb 13 1909
Serial number 32 257 203
Grade Private First Class
Date of Induction Mar 13 1942
Place of Induction Fort Dix, NJ
Selective service board number 239
Military Qualifications RI MI 164 2 Apr 1944
Battles and Campaigns in
Central Europe, Rhineland, GO 33 WD 45 as Amended
Date of Discharge Dec 19 1945
My primary focus is the European part of his tour of duty. If possible to
trace his unit's progress thru Europe during the war.
I hope to follow in his footsteps and see some of the environment he passed
through.
I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Sincerly

Subject: looking for my grandfather
Comments:
His name is Clayton Joseph Rose he was born in Saskatoon Saskatchewan in 1916
he served in WW2 and was killed in action on Sept 17,1944 in Bologne France.
his rank was Sgt and he was in the RCA. We have been unable to find out much
information about my grandfather other then what I listed above. We are not
sure even how he died. I found his name in the Canadian book of remembrance
and he is listed there also has a headstone in Flanders field and a plaque on
a tree in Saskatoon Sask. as a memorial to him any information would be very
appreciated. I want to give the information to my dad as he was 5 when my
grandpa his dad was killed and it might provide some closure for both him and
my granny.
Thanks Cher

Subject: I would like to find some information about my father
Comments: My father Jesse W Triplett served in the US Army in 1942-1945. He
was in the Co. A 92nd Signal bn. His serial number was 36717643 PFC. His place
of entry into the service was Camp Grant Illinois. He was kitchen help number

in the Army and maybe see a group photo. I saw on his Honorable Discharge that
he received some service bars and medals and ribbons. I would love to have
something of his. If anyone knows anything about him or can find anything out
please let me know. Thank you very much. Geraldine

Subject: WW2 male war correspondent at Berchtesgaden
Comments: I am researching my fathers' war travels specifically when they
reached Berchtesgaden. He was believed to have been driving the jeep of a
Colonel (or General) and a male war correspondent. He was with the
Headquarters Company 3rd Infantry Division but because of an injury he was the
driver for the Colonel. I know he was one of the first to reach the Eagle's
nest and had to CLIMB because the elevator was not working. His name was
Charles Waters Technician Fifth Grade. I am doing some research and trying to
find the war correspondent that was with my father when they went up to
Berchtesgaden.
This is what I know:
My father's name: T/5 Charles H. Waters, Hq. Co., 3rd Inf. Div.
He was the driver for Maj. Gen. Lucian Truscott when they went up to the Nest
but apparently there was a war correspondent that worked for the Los Angeles
Times with them as well. I am trying to find the name of the correspondent. If
you could be of any help It would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Brother, PVT William H. Johnson, MIA Korea
Comments:
My Brother PVT William H. Johnson was declared Missing In Action on Dec.
3,1950 at Huksu-Ri Korea he was in Fox Co 7th Infantry Regiment 3rd Infantry
Division 2nd Battalion. He was only 18 yrs old and from a small Country town
in Indiana named Otisco.
My family and I have been fighting a few battles of our own trying to get
answers to our questions and getting nothing but lip service in return. 3
years ago a local newspaper published an article asking for information about
next of kin to William Johnson from Clark co. Indiana mia Korea. We contacted
the veteran affairs officer who had placed the article all information
pertaining to our brother was given, we were then told some numbers did not
match it wasn't our brother we were also told there were 3 William Johnson's
mia Korea from Clark county Indiana.
Well that's what and that's when I began researching this matter, fact is
there is only 1 William Johnson from the entire state of Indiana Mia Korea
that's our brother, when this was brought to the veteran affairs officer they
could no longer remember why the article was placed. These people are supposed
to keep records but we could not even get the records checked, so the search
goes on on September 23 of this year(2003)
I was sent an e-mail from VFW Org Washington DC stating the remains of a
Johnson from Indiana have been identified but further identification was
needed, my family hopes and prays for closure, it's turned over to chief
repatriation and recovery Officers the e-mails keep coming and our hopes keep
growing, then officer tells us they can not contact the gentleman that sent
the e-mails, then we're told he's on vacation, then we're told the gentleman
did not state remains from Indiana but was discussing remains from Illinois
dating several years back.
It was a mistake we were told, I have the e-mails I know what was in them
the gentleman is lying and now I have to find out why. If anyone was at
Huksu-Ri Korea on Dec, 3,1950 or think that they might have known my brother
please contact me, it is urgent. If anyone knew Glenn Hubenette then it's
likely you also knew my brother, Glenn remembers him. Thank You and God Bless

I believe my father was in the 3rd from N. Africa to Germany. Since he was in

have been in the 3rd there also. He is alive and well for a man born in 1919.
I think he needs contact by anyone who was
there with him.

training was at Ft. Benning, Ga. after he enlisted in 1943. He received 4
Bronze stars which he never mentioned to me and I would like to know what they
