Box 712 City, State, ZIP: APO, AP 96555 Telephone: 805-355-3251 FAX: 805-355-5960 E-mail: kwajannie@yahoo.com Subject: info on my grandfathers service Comments: I am looking for someone or something to go on regarding my grandfathers time in the army 1943-1945.

REQUEST #2788 Name: Marc Address: care of amo plans 2 West Dixie Highway City, State, ZIP: Dania Florida 33004 Telephone: 9549204247 E-mail: waritems86@yahoo.com Subject: Private Jon K. Smedberg Comments: Looking for any info on Private Jon K. Smedberg. He was with the 3rd Division during WWII. He served in the battles at Anzio in Italy. HE was in mine-detection, and then served as anti-tank gunner. I collect war letters, and I just acquired the war letters of Private Smedberg, that he sent home to his parents in Chicago. They are his 1945 letters. Fantastic stuff. After the Germans surrendered, and Censorship was lifted, Smedberg gave a great account of the war. He talks about the gunners having trouble taking out a German Tiger Tank. One shot missed. Then Smedberg fired again. Hit his target on the tank, but he didn't penetrate all the way through. Then the turret turned until it was targeted on Smedberg's position, so he dove into his foxhole, while the tank fired at his position. He says "I could have been brave and patriotic and taken another shot, and they would have been sending you my dog-tags and death notice." Martin Markley writes: Jon K. Smedberg is listed in the History of the Third Infantry Division in World War WWII (Page 529) as a member of the 30th Infantry Regiment. |

REQUEST #2781 Name: Kathy Abey City, State, ZIP: Chestertown, MD 21620 FAX: 410-810-3532 E-mail: monga@dmv.com Subject: Robert Chester Abey Comments: I a looking for people who served with my Uncle in Korea and Germany. I am not sure of all the dates but the Commendation Ribbon/Medal citation for the Korean War says Nov.17 1950- July 15, 1951. He served with Co. K, 7th Inf. Reg., 3rd Inf. Div. Some of the photos in Germany show him standing in front of HQ of 443rd AAA. I have a lot of photos of him with the other "boys" in his unit. Korean photos: There is a photo of him and another Am. soldier with the Korean soldiers who served with their unit; one of the unit cooking something in a fox hole (dinner?); a big encampment at Hamhung, North Korea; one of the camp under snow; some of them digging a pit/foxhole/gun emplacement; and many more. I know nothing of the unit actions. The DD214 notes Korean Service medal w/three bronze stars; army of occupation- Japan. (Germany is not mentioned nor the Commendation medal but I have the pictures and citation- and the gate assignments in Germany.) There are also many photos from Germany. One is a photo of my
uncle and a very tall fellow that was his friend apparently. My uncle
was 5'3" and this other guy must be 6'3" easily. The notation says
"White and me"; another photo of what looks to be the same tall fellow
notes "Sam". There are photos of the guys having a few beers somewhere
together; one of the ship that took them overseas, one of the statue of
Liberty with dirigibles around it, may have been taken as they left
port. The pictures are in pretty good shape. You can see the faces of
these men clearly in many of the pictures. I am happy to share them. |
