REQUEST #2420 Name: Cecilia Hodge E-mail: celka36@yahoo.com Subject: Search 3rdiv 10th Battery Company "A", Melvin F. Hodge Comments: I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have served with my late husband, Melvin F. Hodge (Sgt E-5) (Michigan) 3rd Div, 10th Btry, Co. "A" Trained at Camp Chaffee, AK and Fort Hood, TX (1952) - Aboard USNS Gen. C.C. Ballou (Nov. "52) Served in Korea 1952-1953 I realize that 50 years have passed and perhaps his name will have no recollection, however, maybe someone will remember the following: A picture was taken of approximately 50 soldiers (including Mel) in a bunker in Korea. There was one soldier holding a box of Tide Detergent and another one holding a box of Lux and two holding canisters with A-47 written on it. Only one soldier is wearing a helmet with the name of "Sayles". Also, I understand that the Company had a dog that disappeared mysteriously. Among many questions, I would like to know what area he may have been serving at to earn the Korean Service Ribbon w/2Bronze Service Stars. Some names that may have served with him are: (Goodwin MA )(Lou! x NY) (Rupert PA) (Steinwele IL) (Layne CO) (Manter MA) (Miloch IL) (Kuczek IL) (McGarock Jr WI) Thank you. |

REQUEST #2413 Name: Michael G. Wall E-mail: MBAPCBC@aol.com Subject: Stephen J. Wall Comments: I would greatly appreciate your help, if possible, with two requests. 1. How can I find out how to hopefully obtain a medal that was awarded to my dad, for action during WWII. He was awarded SS, BS, PH, CIB, and DSM. He never received or lost the Dis. Ser. Medal. I have written the Veterans Affairs, Disabled American Vets, etc. and unfortunately was told that his records were destroyed in that warehouse fire in St. Louis in the 70's. He has discussed over the years briefly, and has accepted whatever is to be. But I know that deep in his heart he would like to have it. He is turning 80 this July. I have copies of his discharge papers and citations, if that would surface in this request. His name is Stephen J. Wall, he served in Europe from 43-45. 1) Is there a way for him to receive a new Distinguished Service Medal, 2) could it be possible for someone from the 3RD I.D. to present it to him. We, his family are having a surprise 80th birthday party for him, and thought this would be the biggest surprise of his life. We would be more than glad in helping with expense of request. We here all appreciate how brave and dedicated our service men and women are in the military, especially the 3rd ID. We also will understand if our request cannot be handled, because of constrainst that you might have. My dad has never asked much from the Army, or the Disabled American Vets, in the past, and would never ask for anyone to go out of his way for him. But I know that he did his duty and gave his all. So pardon us if we ask for him, he is a great man. Thank You and God bless Webmaster's Note: Go to our FAQ Page (Click Here) for the procedure for replacing Lost Medals. Stephen J. Wall S/Sgt, Co. M 7th Infantry Regiment, was awarded the Silver Star at Houssen, France Jan. 25, 1945 as noted in the book, "History of the 3rd Infantry Division in WWII". |

REQUEST #2411 Name: Joel Potter E-mail: JAPotter13@aol.com Subject: Herbert J. Hinson Comments: I am Marthan Hinson's oldest son, and I'm actually writing my master's thesis on my granddad's WWII service record. She forwarded your email to me in the hopes that I could send you copies of her dad's photos. I will attempt to do this in this email, though I've never sent jpeg files before, so I am not certain I'll do it right. Thanks so much for your help; I'm casting my net wide, though I recognize it's a long shot anyone will recognize or recall my granddad. I've contacted about ten vets who were members of L Company, 15th Inf Reg, 3rd ID during 1944, and have heard back from about half. Maybe the pictures will be a good way to get some information. Thanks again--take care. Sincerely, Joel Potter

REQUEST #2408 Name: Larry Schuermann-US Navy Vet E-mail: schuermann@socket.net Subject: Pfc Raymond A. Purol--3rd ID WWII Comments: My friends father was with the 3rd ID for all the campaigns up to and including Anzio. On 2/11/44 a bad head injury from shrapnel almost killed him and put him out of the war. He was in Miami, Florida hospitals for almost nine months of recovery. He has a Combat Infantry Badge which means he was either in the 7thIR, 15thIR, or 30thIR, but his discharge papers don't say which one. He was awarded the PH for the injury. Raymond passed away 3/1/2003 so asking him isn't an option--his surviving wife doesn't know. We will send NPRC (St.Louis, Mo.) a request for records, but the 1973 fire probably got 'em (80% chance)--we might get lucky! His service number is "16 001 072" Is there anyway of determining which IR he was in?? His son and I are doing a memorial for him and would like to get downto at least the IR level. Can you guys help?? Webmaster's Note: Pfc Raymond A. Purol is listed as a member of the 30th Infantry Regiment in the book, "History of the 3rd Infantry Division in WWII" |

I will pass this article to everyone I know but would like to know that this information is accurate. A set of the official requirements would really be nice then I can attach them to the article when I foreword it.

REQUEST #2372 Name: Juliet Pressel E-mail: jepressel@comcast.net Subject: John H. Richter Comments: My father, John H. Richter, was a refugee from Germany who enlisted in the U.S. Army during WWII, and served from (I think) 1943/44 onward. He spoke very little about his war experiences, and downplayed what he did. Eventually I came to understand that he was assigned to SHAEF and, among other things, interrogated SS prisoners, guarded document repositories in captured Nazi headquarters and possibly gathered information in preparation for the war crimes trials. My father died in 1994. Recently, looking again at his personal effects, I found 3 SHAEF badges but also a 3rd Infantry badge. How can I find out more about his 3rd Infantry experience? Thanks. |

REQUEST #2359 I am hoping the unit who fought in the town and recovered this soldier and hope that they would have recorded his name. Can you help me? Based on the information given to me by the Military Archives in MD, Avellino became a goal by 9/27/9143 and was under control by 9/30/1943. They suggested that the 3rd Infantry Division was in the area at this time. I do not know what he was doing there but I suspect he was on a recon mission. Any suggestions about who I can contact?
