Subject: 5th Army, Hq Battery 4321, AAA AW Battalion, Gun Section 3
Comments:
I am writing this for my dad, Carl W. Siegel. He has pancreatic cancer and
only has a couple of months. He is 84 yrs. old and this past year is the first
time he really started talking about the war. He doesn't have a lot of time
left and is starting to get confused. But if anyone out there remembers him,
he'd be thrilled to get a card or a quick note from you saying you remember
him. He is deaf in one ear (war injury) so phone calls are kind of difficult.
He feels forgotten right now so any remembrance would really up lift his
spirits.
He was in WWII: 5th Army (Tech 5). Hq Battery 4321, AAA AW Battalion, Gun
Section 3. Campaigns: Tunisian, Naples Foggia, Rome Arno, No. Appenines, Po
Valley. He served from 1942-45
He was also in the Korean War: 3rd Div. 15th Inf. Co. A (Able) 1st Bn. He was
a M/SG. He served from 1950-54 and then joined the Reserves until 1963.
He remembers he was a replacement for SG. Mills in Korea and he remembers
doing patrol with a LT. Cobb along the Imgem(?) River.
Other names he recalls are Rocko from Brooklyn, Johnny Albright and Seth
Huntley(?) from Arkansas. I think they are from WWII.
He also remembers a guy named Nick from the Reserves who would stop by the
house to visit and always had a handful of candy for us kids. At that time we
lived in Hometown, IL.
Any acknowledgment of him would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Subject: 3rd Division Reunions
Comments: Hello. My name is Melissa Mendise. My father, Joseph I. Mendise
served in the Korean War in the 3rd Infantry Division, 7th Regiment, 3rd
Battalion Headquarters Co.
My father never spoke of the war or would not really answer any questions
until recently. He seems to be very open to getting together now with other
Korean War veterans and has even joined a local group. He often has me look up
information for him on the internet since he does not have a computer.
I am writing to ask you if there are any reunions being planned. Also, he just
showed me a postcard with the ship he was on to get to Korea. It was called
the Marine Adder. Do you know where it is or if it is even still around?
I have been unsuccessful in trying to get any information.
Please write back
Father's address

This is a long shot, but I am trying to find a woman who worked with my

The person I am looking for is named Martha and worked in the barracks under a
General Cunningham. Her husband was an engineer, and was sent overseas in
1942. They came from Boston.
If anyone has any info on this woman, or if you believe any of this seems even
remotely familiar, please email me!! My grandma never got this woman's last
name and told me she still regrets it, as they were very close.

Subject: USO performance at Kassel in 1945
Comments: My name is Rick Hiergesell. Enjoyed your website. The USO
performance at Kassel in 1945 caught my attention.
My father-in-law has some pictures of this event. He was about half-way to the
stage. He was in the 7th Army and was in Kassel at the end of the war.
The banner over the stage in you photo has the names of the actors and
actresses. Right below the names of the actors,
the banner reads 16th Armored Division Band. Research shows this was part of
Patton's 3rd Army.
Do you by any chance have the list of all the units/divisions that attended
this event. I am still trying to find out the unit that my father-in-law was
in.
His name was Pfc. Carl Ray Bailey in the 7th Army, and Bronze Star recipient.
Resource recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
