REQUEST #2755
Name: Barry Key
email: mhkey@whidbey.com
Subject: Sgt. Carl Q. Key, 216th AAA Battalion
Comments:
I am trying to fill in some holes in my uncle's military service as his
personnel records were among those destroyed in the fire at St. Louis.
He was a medic in WWII with the 3rd Ranger Battalion in North Africa,
Sicily, and Salerno and Anzio in Italy. In the battle of Cisterna, after
initially being captured while working with the wounded at the 3rd
Battalion aid station when it was overrun, he was able to escape and was
one of the few Rangers from the 1st and 3rd Battalions to make it back
to friendly lines after the battle of Cisterna.
I have been unable to determine what unit he served with after the
survivors of 1st, 3rd and 4th Rangers were disbanded and sent to other
units. I understand that some of the Rangers were transferred to the 1st
Special Service Force, however it has also been speculated that after
his escape he would have most likely come back into either the 7th or
15th Infantry Regiment lines, and being a medic could have hooked up
with one of the line units from one of these regiments.
I do know from his discharge papers that in addition to the earlier
campaigns he also took part in Rome-Arno, Southern France and Rhineland
campaigns. The unit he was with when discharged in June 1945 was the
216th AAA Battalion, and I have pictures of him with other medics and a
Jeep with the 216th AAA markings. However, I have been unable to find
anything on this unit other than a phone listing for a contact that is
no longer in service. I am trying to find out if the 216th AAA was
attached to either the 7th or 15th Infantry Regiment or to find any
trace that my uncle may have served with either of these units after
Cisterna. His personnel records were among those destroyed in the fire
at St. Louis
Thank you for any help you can give.

Society of the 3rd division's Martin
Markley Response
Barry,
I have searched the book the History of the Third Infantry Division in
World War II.
Your uncle is not listed as a member of any of the division units and
the 216AAA is not listed as having been attached to the division.
I will forward your inquiry to our webmaster and newsletter editor for
publication.
Good luck in your search.
Martin Markley
Martin:
I was just typing in some more history in the timeline of my uncle’s
service when I noted that the 3rd Ranger Battalion was attached to the
“Joss Force”, 3rd Infantry Division for Operation Husky when the 3rd
landed at Licata. Nothing to do with the subsequent events at Cisterna,
but an interesting footnote as it looks like the Rangers and the 3rd
fought together through the Sicilian and Italian campaigns, at least up
to Cisterna.
Barry
Barry,
Thank you for the additional information.
This may be of interest;
On page 51 of the Third Division book the 3rd Ranger Bn is included in
the "Troop List Operation Joss""
Quote page 54 The initial assault was carried out by only four
battalions,: one from each regiment and the 3rd Ranger Battalion,
attached. ... The 3rd Ranger Bn went ashore on Beach Green. .. The 3rd
Ranger Bn began disembarking on Green Beach at 0300, achieving tactical
surprise. The men were able to cross the beach and pass through a wide
band of defensive wire before the enemy was aware of the situation. When
he opened fire the gun fire gave away locations of the enemy weapons and
the Rangers were easily able to subdue them..... Then after the naval
shelling of Licata the regimental units together with the Rangers
approaching from the eastern and captured the town by 1130. The first
major objective was taken. ...... Page 58 With the 7th Inf in reserve,
the first phase of the drive to Palermo was borne by the 15th and 30th
Regiments and the 3r Ranger Bn. Moving northwest from Raffadali toward
Cattolica the Rangers met no resistance and continued to move toward
Calamonica where they outposted the left flank of the division.

Comments: In 1955 when my father, Tom Boswell, was in Rome Italy he met
a youg boy there named Lorenzo Chiarotti.When he came home to the states
he tried through the War Relief Services-National Catholic Welfare

E-mail: jgrahn@wt.net
Subject: Where O where is my brother buried?
Comments: Our family imploded during and after WWII. I was born in
Madison, WI on January 17, 1938. My older brother, Lawrence W. Grahn,
served in the U.S. Army, and spent several months in hell, during the
several battles at Anzio, Italy. He was wounded and died of those wounds
in early 1944. I am most hopeful in obtaining information concerning the
circumstances of his wounding, and subsequent death; his place of
burial, and his widow's name, if at all possible. I was only 4 when he
gave the last full measure of service, and was not in a position (or
intelligence) to ask mother and father for that information. Everything
from those years is shrouded in silence, and darkness. So, in my mind,
we won the war but lost our family, and many never to be known and
experienced memories. Thank you for your help. I know I'll meet Lawrence
in eternity, and I am looking forward to that reunion. Your friend in
Texas, Richard (Dick) Grahn. "Once a Badger, always a Badger." |

Subject: Names of naval ships at any port in DownEast Maine during 1944
Comments: Hello, You probably don't get a request like this one
very often, or maybe you do. I need help in finding out the names of
naval ships at any port in DownEast Maine during 1944. To make a long
story as short as I can, My Father-in Law's biological father is said to
have been one of those men. His son (my husband, ) and daughter have had
health issues that can only be traced back to this missing link as they
are the only ones who have these particular problems and the problems
are said to skip generations. The only "generation" not accounted for is
what would be their biological grand-father. My father- in- law's mother
died when he was only 5 and never gave any clue of who his father is
except for that he was in the navy. I know this means a lot to him and
us also. I don't really know where to begin a research project like this
one so any direction you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Thank you Very much |
