He has never talked about the 2nd W.W. until this past week (he's dying of
cancer). When asked who the men on a picture with him were, he said they
were Americans who he fought with in General Patton's 3rd army. He would
not say much more, other than he joined before the battle of Verdun and
that he walked home one day when they were fighting near Metz. |

Subject: 1945 Escort Detail (Polish DPs to Poland)_
Comments: In circa September 1945 I was part of a 5-man escort detail for
a trainload of several hundred Polish displaced persons (DPs) being
relocated from Kassel, Germany to Dziedzice, Poland (near Katowice).
Travel was through Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia (and Russian-occupied
territory in the latter), on into Poland. I was an MOS 745 (infantry
rifleman -- with CIB) stationed at Hersfeld, Germany at the time and the
3rd Division had some of the American responsibility for transferring DPs
back to their homeland. It was a memorable trip for me. I would like to
learn more about events on that lengthy trip because I was able to help
one of the passengers on that difficult journey for the Poles.
I later learned that contact had been reestablished
with that passenger's relatives in New Jersey and subsequently some from
the train were able to emigrate to the States. After the escort detail I
enlisted for three years and served with occupation forces in Europe until
state-side discharge in October 1948. I am seeking contact with the
immigrants who successfully reached Trenton, New Jersey. I have already
periodically sought them but have not yet succeeded. For many years I have
thought about the travails of those DPs on that worrisome trip for them,
and would like to renew my quest. |

Comments: My dad, Bernard Poretz, was a member of the 601st Tank Destroyer
Battalion (page 569 History of the 3rd by Taggart). Dad passed away 37
years ago. Being 18 yrs old I was too young to ask the proper questions
about his time in the service. Dad would tell about humorous stories
(e.g.. the time he drove his tank off a "cliff" during training at Fort
Knox). I am interested in anybody's recollections of my dad from his days
in the service. Thank You |

I am the daughter of Glenn Irwin Lobaugh who served in the Navy back in
1953. He was based at Millington, TN Naval Base when I was born. He was
transferred to the Philippines soon after I was born in August, 1952.
While there he developed Polio and within 2 days he passed away. He died
June 21, 1953, 2 days before my mom and dad's 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I
was just 10 months old. My mom and I had just been given our vaccines so
we could go there to be with him. My mom recently passed away on Feb. 16,
2005. I know only what my mom told me about my dad. I do not know any of
the friends my dad knew when he was in the service. I would like to be
able to learn more about my dad. If you recognize my father's name or if
you served with him, please contact me. I would appreciate it very much.
He was into working with Radio and Electronics. Thank you all. And I hope
