in WWII. I am anxious to find someone who may have known my dad as he
would never talk about the war. He was a lieutenant, but I do not
remember if he was a first or second lieutenant. Also, I have just
returned from The New Orleans D-Day Museum where I did some research
trying to put the pieces of my dad's life together during the time he
served in the war. There is a book written by one of the veterans of the
264 Infantry Division of the 66th Black Panthers Division. My dad was
Caucasian. I am desperately trying to locate that book. In New Orleans
at the museum, they said they had sold out of that particular book. I
believe the author is Wessman, but just not sure. Do you know of any
books written about the 66th Black Panther Division, 264th Infantry OR
any veterans who might be able to help me? Thank you so very much for

Comments: My heart goes out to all who request info, its like there is a

nothing about what he experience and I'm beginning to understand why.
What he experienced was so traumatic they buried it deep. This impacted
the rest of their life and affect ours also. But I can start to
understand why he was the way he was. They had a tough job and they did
what they had to do and I think something they had to do they may not
have been proud of. I don't know what he encountered but I'm just trying
to understand.
Trying to figure out groups divisions regiments you get lost in the
numbers. But I have pictures showing him in the 14th Armored Division
under Patton's 3rd army.
I found some article that this unit was part of the team that liberated
many prisoners at the Buchenwald concentration camp where there were
bodies piled 5 ft high and 70 ft deep.
I'm trying to find info about this any help is greatly appreciated.

My uncle, Salvatore A. Scifo was killed in Nov. 1944 in Mariadorf,

Brooklyn, NY. She was pregnant when Uncle Sal went overseas. I think her
name was Martha. They had a child, I think a son. After he got killed,
my family never heard from her again. Rumor has it that she remarried
several years later and may have had her second husband adopt the child.
As a result, the child's last name may have been changed. I would hope
that my cousin contact me. My Uncle Sal served in the 105th Engineer
Battalion, 30th Infantry (Old Hickory). If anyone has any information on
this person or may have heard this story, please contact me.

Subject: Cecil Edwin Turner
Comments: I found your site and wondered if you could help me find the
records of my dad's military service. He died in 1986 and talked very
little about his war experience. A few years ago when our mother past
away, I found stacks of V-mail letters to his parents during WWII. I'd
like to put the pieces together of the sketchy information the censors
allowed through the mail.
His name: Cecil Edwin Turner
Birth: August 13, 1918 Roscoe, Texas
He was drafted sometime early in 1941. He was part of the 36th division,
T-patch Texas group and mentions the 7th army he was with all but 4 days
of the war. He was a radio operator and landed in Africa and advanced to
Italy Sept. 9, 1943. While his group was in Italy, he sent some letters
from France (Feb 4, 12, 14, 22, 25, 1944) when he and 2 others worked
with the French army. He was given a commendation for his work with the
French for staying behind and manning the radio while the rest of the
soldiers evacuated the area. He sent the coordinates of the advancing
enemy so artillery could be notified and cover given. In his letter he
stated ," I am with a party of three and we are with the French. You no
doubt have read of how the Americans, British, and French are
cooperating to win the war. We represent the 36th Artillery at the
French Artillery. The French are good soldiers." Do you know anything
about our work with the French even before the invasion? Was he working
with the French underground?
He returned to Italy in early March, 44 and came ashore in Southern
France sometime during the summer. Then on to Germany in '45. Where and
what he did in Germany is unclear. He had some photos of mass graves of
the concentration camps I am guessing. He stayed and helped occupy
Germany until his release sometime in the Fall of '45.
Anything you can tell me would be helpful--where he trained, dates and
places of his service and a good book to find out what all his division
took part in.
Thanks for your help |

Comments: Did anyone serve with John Lloyd Moore, 3rd Army, 90th
Division, with T and O Patch (for Texas and Oklahoma). I think he was a
sergeant, but I am not sure.
My uncle was a native of Northwest Arkansas and was in the Battle of the
Bulge. He survived the war and came home in 1945. He passed away in the
mid-1960s from heart disease and was living in Kansas City, Mo., at that
time.
He was born in 1911, so he would have been in his 30s in wartime.
I would like to be in contact with anyone who served with him and knew
him. He said very little about his wartime experiences. Thanks, Mary
Migliore his niece |

Comments:
My dad served in the 3rd Infantry Division in the Korean war between
1951 and 1953. I know he was a E5 and had a mos of a radio operator but
not what outfit he was with. He never talked about his war experience at
all. Come to find out from his brother (who was a plane captain in the
USAF at an airbase outside of Seoul at the same time) said my dad came
to visit him one day dressed in a Chi-Com uniform complete with fur cap.
My dad alluded to his brother he was involved with a unit that carried
out reconnaissance missions across the 38th parallel. My father passed
on some time ago and he never spoke about his experiences to me, my
brothers, or my mom. Now I am curious about his war record and what he
did over there. All I have is his name: Hung Chong Kam, dob:8 Aug 1929,
born a Chinese American, and was drafted out of Wahiawa, Hawaii. My mom
is trying to look up his discharge papers and hopefully I can give you
more information. Any possible help or avenue of research would!

return to his family. He lives now in North Dakota. I don't know any
other details because he has always been very emotional when the subject
came up. I know he has a purple heart and bronze star. is any more

I am the sister of Greg Orndorff. I am trying to find out as much

I would also like to find out how I can contact him now. I am in Child

Burlington West Virginia. I do not have internet access there. I would
appreciate it if someone could give me a call before 9 p.m. anytime, and
let me know about my brother. It would take a lot of pressure off of my
chest. Just say that you are calling in regards to my brother, and they
will understand.

Subject: Re: Gene Barnett 937th Battalion 142nd FA WWII
Comments:
My dad, Sgt. Gene R. Barnett, served with the 142nd Field Artillery
during WWII. I know it was mobilized out of NW Arkansas and I *think* it
was the 937th Battalion but I can't find more info than that. His DD214
says he served in Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, Southern France, Rhineland,
and Central Europe. I'm trying to trace his exact movements during the
war but without knowing what units, battalions, etc, he was attached to,
this task is turning impossible.
He was only 54 when he died from a heart by-pass operation in 1974. He
had a photo album and a book about the 142nd FA about his time in the
army and we spent many hours going through them but his explanations
were very simple as I was quite young at the time. Even then he found it
hard to talk about what happened during the war and so much of what he
told me has been lost to me.
If anyone knew him, served with him or any units he was attached to, or
can give me *any* info to help with my research, I'd be eternally
grateful!
Thank you all - and MANY thanks to all our past and present military
personnel. |
