REQUEST #2495 Name: Worthy Evans Address: 524 W. Calhoun St. City, State, ZIP: Sumter, SC 29150 Telephone: 803-775-0965 E-mail: Worthyb@aol.com Subject: Willard Dave Evans Comments: Hey, I don't know if I hit the right spot. My great uncle, Willard Dave Evans, served literally alongside Audie Murphy in several campaigns, at least starting with Salerno. I'm looking for information regarding his service record. Willard, born circa 1923 (his birth year varied, as did several of his brothers), died in Late December 1998 at his home in Greenwood, SC. He served well enough to earn a silver star and a purple heart. He never talked much about the war, and I respected him too much to pull out what was obviously pretty painful to him. I would like to get some information from his service record. Thanks, Worthy B. Evans (Formerly with 299th Engineer Battalion, Fourth Infantry Division, from 1994-96)

He was captured and remained a German POW for sometime--escaping 3 times. I remember him visiting his older brother (my father), mother about 1947 in Catonsville, MD after being discharged from a military hospital. He was returning to his home town of Bay City, Michigan. My husband & I have just returned from the WWII Memorial dedication in Washington, DC today. What an uplifting and sobering experience. Everyone we encountered was overwhelmed with the sacrifices made & grateful for information shared. Expressions of their appreciation to every 'vet' they encountered was obvious & oh, so well, deserved. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter anyone from the 3rd Infantry BN but did leave a request on the Reunion Hall bulletin board. My uncle died many years ago and never spoke of his wartime experiences to us except for that first night when he visited my mom & dad. I was only 7 years old at the time; but I still have vivid memories of my dad's retelling of Uncle Leon's experience. Research has told me that of 767 men in the 2 Ranger battalions who initially landed on Anzio, only six eventually returned to Allied lines. Thank you for your time & any information you can provide. |

Pierce Street City, State, ZIP: Elburn, IL. 60119 Telephone: 6303659604 E-mail: isbergone@prodigy.net Subject: Looking for those who served North Africa, Anzio, Monte Casino, Po Valley Comments: I am looking for anyone who may remember two soldiers. One my father in law Louis Balika, tells me he served with the 7th cav, a mech. infantry batt., the reorganized 85th infantry, 2 Bat. George Company. The changed units where a result of injuries in battle on one occasion. He remembers his tank hitting a mine. He was later found alive by recon units in the dark. Landed in Casablanca, then Anzio, and broke out and advanced to Monte Casino and later the battle in the snow for the Po Valley. It was during this time he was reassigned to the 85th. He served with my uncle Ray Isberg in a heavy weapons squad. He carried his ammo for his BAR. I found this out when looking at pictures my future wife had. They are identical to the one I had of my Uncle. I am hoping to tie up some loose ends and my father in law would like to find anyone who is still alive. He remembers staying overnight in a Dukes castle once and enjoying the wine at a monastery following a long battle. My son is trying to document his grandfathers stories and is looking for additional information. Thanks |

Comments: I am looking for information in regards to my father, Staff
Sgt. William B. Fitzgerald. He served in the Army from 1940-45. He was
in the European War and received medals and 2 bronze stars. His training
was of a pastry cook. I was hoping to find someone that might have known
him and could tell me of his travels and over Europe and what his medals
were actually for. He has past away many years but just recently I
finally received copy of the medals he received but with no explanation
of how and why. I know he enjoyed playing the piano, soft shoe dancing
and played his harmonica. I remember as a child he often told me to look
for him in Army pictures that he was in some. I soul search all the

Garcia - WWII Comments: Looking for more info on my uncle. Never met the man but his sister (my Mom) tells me the story. He was a tail gunner in a B17 whose plane was hit and he was shot while flying over Austria. He made sure everyone of his crew members had a parachute and safely jumped out of the plane. Before the pilot jumped, he noticed my uncle was wounded and that there were no more parachutes left for my uncle. He tried to persuade my uncle to jump with him but my uncle pushed him out of the plane and then steered the plane away from the parachuting crew members and into a field somewhere in the Austrian countryside. This all happened in 1944. People from a local town buried him in until I believe 1946 or so when his body was returned to Los Angeles for final resting. My mom remembers hearing this from the pilot and a few crew members who visited my grandparents to relay his bravery and thank them (him) for saving their lives. My mom recalled this day very vividly and never felt prouder. My grandparents were later presented with the Purple Heart for his actions. Although a longshot, if anyone knows of this man (my uncle) or the story, please contact me. |

I am writing and attaching a picture that my mother obtained recently of a man she believes may be her father. This is what is believed to have taken place. This man was at Fort Drum, NY in the fall of 1942 and met a woman who he had a relationship with, she was from Maine and was visiting her sister in Connecticut. They went to NY to visit the base and she met this man. The woman who gave birth to my mother has never provided any further details about this man, all we have is this picture.
Based on the patch it is believed that he is with the 3rd United States Army, however, we have no idea what unit or division. Maybe someone recognizes the uniform or the picture. Any information would be greatly appreciated. |

I am trying to do a biography of his life and I would really appreciate any assistance that is provided. My father mentioned something about being a member of the 275, but he couldn't tell me if it was an armored div or medical or what. I am starting from the beginning. Thank you in advance.

REQUEST #2423 Name: Mike Whitehead E-mail: whitehead5829@bellsouth.net Subject: 3ID tracking map Comments: I am looking for a map printed after the war called a tracking map. This showed the advance of the 3rd I.D. through Europe. A local barber was a member of the 3rd and had a map on his shop wall, but it was destroyed in a fire. Can you help me find a copy worth framing to honor his service? Thanks |

A contingent of ships personnel was present ashore witnessing the surrender ceremonies of Yokuska naval base.
