Comments: Looking for my father's service history. Sgt. John Thomas Maloney served in the 3rd Division's field artillery in France during WWI, and in the Occupation Forces after 1918. He was a member of the 3rd Division Association and the American Legion and participated in many reunions prior to WWII.

Before 1917, Sgt. Maloney served in the US Cavalry from 1906. I know he was in Troop F, Fifth Cavalry, Ft. Leavenworth in April of 1914. He participated in the 1916 Punitive Expedition into Mexico under Gen. Pershing.

I have tried searching the federal records, but do not have his service or Social Security numbers. Any information, or advice on finding information, will be greatly appreciated.

Subject: My father Eddie L. Trokey PFC Automatic Rifleman (746) (ser. # 37 628 642 Co A 15th Inf 3rd Inf Div ) served in Europe during WWII past away after a 2 year battle with colon cancer on Oct. 23, 2005. He was very proud of his service during the War. He has mentioned Cologne, the Remagen Bridge, and Rhineland when he has spoke about his time in the service but not unlike a lot of soldiers he really had no idea at times exactly where or the significance of the battles he was in. I do know that several good friends were killed in action during his service and he has often wondered why he made it home and they didn't. I would like to be able to put together a short history of his time in Europe that includes where he first arrived the campaigns / major battles he participated in for our family to have / remember him with.

He entered the service on Dec. 3, 1943 and his separation date is Apr. 30, 1946. He also spoke of traveling to Europe on the Queen Mary. Any information you could provide to my family would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your time and efforts. It is greatly appreciated.

My father, tec 5 Edward L Owens was with the army in WWII. He was inducted in November of 42, at Fort Benjamin Harrison Indiana. He was in Normandy northern France and Rhineland Ardennes. He was injured in July of 1944. His battalion on his discharge papers is the 120th AAA battalion, but there is nothing about it on the
internet.

I saw on here where they have changed the names of some of the battalions that fought in the war I think that's what happened to my father, that he was in something different during the war and they changed it after. I have the site where I went if you want to check it out and if you can make heads or tails of it.
http://airdefense.bliss.army.mil/adamag/regiments/200thada.htm maybe you can find something on there that can help me.

Thanks for your help even if its just a place I
can go to find out anything my father passed away in 1990 and at before that time I never saw much of him and wasn't really interested in the war.

Subject: Joe Hyde

Comments: Joe Hyde was my uncle. I understand that he served in combat as a BAR man with the 3rd infantry. I figured that if I could determine the unit he served with I could trace his steps. Unfortunately the National Personal Records Center tells me that a 1973 fire destroyed the records.

I have a discharge form which says that he re-enlisted in 11/1945 and was honorably discharged in 11/46 from the HQ company of the 1st Battalion of the 15th Infantry. They can also tell me that he first enlisted on 8/1944. Family lore has it that his basic training was cut short to get him into Europe for the Battle of the Bulge. Before he died I visited him and heard a few of his stories about combat and about liberating a death camp.

I assumed that he might have served the whole time with the 15th. I bought a copy of the book HISTORY OF THE THIRD INFANTRY IN WWII (Taggart). The book has an appendix listing names of those who served during the war but I don't find his.

If you have answers to any of the following questions please email or call me:

1) If a soldier re-enlisted in November 1945 in Europe was it usual for him to stay in the same regiment or would he more probably be transferred to another?

2) Is there a reason I might not find his name in the appendix of this book? For example, would replacements not be listed?

3) Did you know or hear of my uncle Joe Hyde?

Thanks,

This desire for info comes quite late in the scheme of things and all who might have known have since deceased. My uncle, Private John Tesoriero,24, was killed in action in Chateau Thierry on June 20, 1918. He was a member of B Co. 7th Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division (per tombstone) which, as I understand it relieved the 7th Marines at Belleau Wood a few days before he was killed. I do not expect any info regarding him personally but perhaps of his units service, any unit awards/distinctions from that action. I have written the National Personnel Records Center without much success so far. Any info, or thoughts on where I might find additional info will be appreciated.

Comments: I am currently researching my family history. I found this photo in our attic. I believe it belonged to my grandparents, James Homer Gray, Sr. and Hannah Bell Green. All of the 4 sons of my great grandparents, James Ben Gray and Gussie Dorris were registered for the WWI draft, but I'm not sure if this picture has one of them in it or not. Their sons were: James Homer Gray, Sr. (my grandfather); Archie Gray, Walter Gray, and Fletcher Gray. Grandpa Gray was born in 1880, and my sister does not believe that he fought in WWI. But, we are pretty sure that Archie (Archibald) and Fletcher Gray did. We are not sure about Walter Gray.

One of these men might also belong to my Grandmother Gray - Hannah Bell Green. She had two brothers - John S. (Sydney) Green and Thomas P. Green. Both of them would have been of an age to fight in WWI.

I would love to discover who in our family is depicted in this picture. The faces are just too small for me to see well. I was hoping that you might have muster roll information and could check for any of these names for me:

James Homer Gray
Walter Gray
Archie (Archibald) Gray
Fletcher Gray
John Sidney Green (Sid)
Thomas P. Green (Tommie)

They would have all been from the Columbus, GA (Muscogee County) area.

Subject: Sgt. Fred J. Anderson Co. A, 4th Infantry WWI

Comments: I am the son of Sgt. Fred J. Anderson #2213766 Company A 4th Infantry Regiment. (WW1) I have in my possession a commendation signed by Major Nathaniel E. Callen and Captain Truman Smith that reads as follows:
"On the morning of October 23rd, volunteered and led a patrol into the enemy's lines, in the Bois de Fore't, captured an enemy rearguard, and machine gun, from whom information was secured of the withdrawal of the main body of the enemy. During this patrol, Cpl. Anderson showed excellent qualities of leadership and a high degree of courage.
The same evening, with another patrol, he entered the town of Brioulles, although under severe fire from snipeers in the town and machine guns of the heights to the East of the Meuse" Was Sgt. Anderson (then Cpl ) ever awarded a medal for this commendation? If not, why not?
I will be glad to send a photo for verification.
