Comments: Jozef Wroblewski was my grandfather. He was born 16/01/1913 and died 25/03/1965. He served in the Polish Army and fought in WW2. He fought at Monte Casino, and I believe he was awarded medals. He lived in Krakow just outside of Warsaw before the war and settled at Chisekdon, Wiltshire, England when rescued. He had a wife, son (Jan) and daughter in Poland who moved to Szrezin, Poland. My grandfather met my grandmother and had four children, living in Swindon, Wiltshire, England. He was unable to return to Poland but kept in contact with his son. Jan was unable to get to England before my grandfather died under suspicious circumstances. The little I know makes me want to find out exactly what he was like and what my extended family is like. Please if anyone can help with any info please email me

Would you be able to guide me on what citations and other items would be worn on his uniform in 1967 and how they would have been worn to military regulations? I would
like to get this as accurate as possible. Do you know of a website that would help me out in purchasing these items? I am unable to receive pictures through my current email and can only receive text messages.

My husband and I are searching for any information regarding our grandfathers' service in World War II. His grandfather, Delmer R. Stollar, was killed at the Battle of the Bulge on December 24, 1944. That is about all the information we have...he received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, posthumously, we assume. I don't have his unit information.

My grandfather, Karl Henry Aichele, served in the Pacific. I know he was stationed in China, India and possibly the Philippines. My great uncle thinks he was part of the unit that guarded the Enola Gay. I can't find any information on his unit, etc. All of his papers were destroyed in a fire and my grandmother has trouble with her memory.

Comments:
My Father-in-law, Harvey Sullivan, was with this unit, U.S. Army. 278th Field Arty Bn. 278th Field Artillery Battalion during WWII. He now has Alzheimer's and we cannot find his copy of the unit's history. Is it possible to obtain a copy of the unit's history cited? We have some pictures of the 240 mm howitzer in action if anyone's interested.

Subject: William A. Woods

Comments: Dear Sir, For 10 years I have been trying to find info on anyone who may have served with a private by the name of William A. Woods from Alabama( everyone called him Alton). I have been able to determine thru what I could learn from my uncle that he was with the 3rd infantry division/15th infantry regiment. He saw action at both Anzio and Northern Africa and was wounded and captured during an enemy raid on an ammo depot in Northern Africa. I was wondering if there were any existing rosters that could tell me what company he was in?

I would also be interested in hearing from any surviving vets from his unit who may have served with him. I have tried the veteran records and they have nothing. I have also searched the internet extensively. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Jim

Subject: Elvis Johnny Layton

Comments: I knew my father was in the Army but he would never talk about it and all of his medals were stolen when I was very small. While going thru papers after my mother passed away, we found his discharge papers and it said that he had received 5 Bronze Stars and 1 Silver Star. He is 81 right now and in very bad health. He has mentioned Omaha Beach, helping with the bridge over the Rhine, he was also in 5 different countries (discharge papers). It also mentions being both a medic and a cook! He did mention that he helped to carry the wounded off the field. What information on his discharge papers will help me? I really would like to hear what happened and the names of the towns that he was at. Thank You. Sue Layton

Subject: Website where listing of all Soldier's who served in WWII

Comments: My father fought in the 3rd ID in WWII. He is now deceased and his records are back in his hometown many miles away from me (but available). Is there any site on the internet that gives a listing of the soldier's names who fought in WWII, along with their rank and subdivisions?

I have had several veterans ask me for this info and the only thing I can tell them off the top of my head is that he was there from the beginning in North Africa and stayed 6 months after the war ended (in either Austria or Germany).

He was a foot soldier, a sergeant, a sharp shooter and an all round great human being. He fought at Anzio, the Colmar pocket, marched through German, Italy, was in France, Austria, etc. etc. Can you give me any help or direction?

Name: Brandon Nuttall
City, State, ZIP: Frankfort, KY
E-mail: bnuttall362nd@earthlink.net

Comments: My name is Brandon Nuttall. My father was a P-47 pilot with the 362nd Fighter Group, 379th Fighter Squadron from October 1944 to March 1945. On March 18, 1945, on a close support mission over Bad Kreuznach, Germany, his second mission of the day, he was shot down and captured. He convinced his captors (who arms were down to one loaded sidearm) to surrender to him. They did and he turned them over to the Allied units who had just occupied the town. He was in an Evac hospital by March 22, 1945. My father passed away in 1982.

I am looking for information on the infantry, armor, or engineering unit(s) that would have been in Bad Kreuznach between March 18 and March 22, 1945. I have located information that elements of the 4th Armor Division and the 1303rd Engineering Battalion of Patton's 3rd Army occupied the town between March 16-18, 1945. I would like to contact them and find out a little about their unit history at that time. Maybe there is a survivor who remembers the incident with my father?

Thanks for your help.
