Subject: T/5 Edward J Kane

Comments: My uncle's name was T/5 Edward J Kane, 5th army VI corps res. Philadelphia Pa. either 1st armored or 13th?
US 751 Tank Battalion?or 752,756,758? I'm sorry I don't know.

I was born in 1960 my father was 40 years old so by the time I could understand a little about the war, my older brother was close to going to Vietnam. My father didn't like to talk to much about the war, so later in the late 70's I started to ask questions about WW2. He told me a little about what he did, and about my uncle.

My dad said his brother was a tank operator, and talked about Anzio. He had letters and drawings from him like sleeping under the ground because of the shelling, Really good drawings very detailed, unfortunately he was KIA by mortar fire.

My quest is to find out the date so I can try to put the pieces to together. My father died in 1990. There's only my aunt left and she not talking. Its weird I found a letter from the mayor of New York dated 1948 to my grandfather, saying he was sorry for his loss, but like I said my uncle was from Phila. and he must of died in or around 1944?
Well thanks again for any help you can give me. Mike

Subject: Information on Thomas Kenneth Cunningham

Comments: My name is SFC Durry Gann (Army), I was wondering if you could advise me on some info. My grandfather Samuel (Sam) Grover Gann, served with the 3rd ID, I believe during Korean War. During 1945-46 to 1950. I believe he was serving in Japan with the 8th Army which he was awarded the Occupation Medal (Japan Clasp). From Japan he served in Korea until he returned to FT. Bragg, NC about 1954-55 until his retirement from active duty in Oct 1956. I've requested his records but his was burned in the fire so they say. I have a photo at Ft. Bragg in 1954-55 where he was wearing the 3rd ID patch on his right sleeve.
I believe after WWII he served as a Medic or Aidsman which he finished his career at the hospital has a aidsman in Oct-1956. I have no unit assignment history on him so I'm trying to reconstruct his military career.

Do your contacts have any unit rosters with names or could you post any notes on your website for anybody who my have served with him during the Korean War.
Thanks

He was a private from New Jersey and served with the 7th Army, 3rd Infantry Division, 15th Infantry Regiment. He is listed as being killed January 25, 1945.

I was told by the superintendent at the cemetery that he probably served under General Patch and was most likely killed in the area of Geilspolsheim, France.

I would appreciate any information or how I could research this further.

Please try your hardest to acquire these facts, and I thank you for your time.

Webmaster's Note: Here is the official listing from the Dept. of Defense:

March 1, 2005

DoD Identifies Army Casualties

            The Department of Defense announced today the death of two soldiers who were supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. They died Feb. 26 in Abertha, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated while they were on patrol.   Both Soldiers were assigned to the Army's 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.
           The Soldiers are:
           Pfc. Min S. Choi, 21, of River Vale, N.J.
           Pfc. Landon S. Giles, 19, of Indiana, Penn.

From Our Website:

Families remember their fallen soldiers John Carrington
Kim Giles kneels by the eastern red bud tree planted in memory of her son Pfc. Landon S. Giles of the 6th Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division who was killed in combat in Iraq. Vicki Taylor (right), wife of 6/8 Cavalry's Command Sgt. Maj. comforts Giles' sister Jennifer Giles. Thirteen eastern red bud trees were dedicated to the memory of fallen soldiers during a ceremony at Warrior's Walk at Fort Stewart on Thursday.	Mary Ann Warner, aunt and god mother of Spc. Michael Dean of the 3rd Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division, wipes away tears as she and other family members of thirteen fallen soldiers attended a memorial service and tree dedication ceremony at Fort Stewart on Thursday.	Jennifer Giles, sister of Spc. Landon S. Giles, weeps as she kneels by the eastern red bub tree planted in memory of her brother at Fort Stewart where a memorial service and tree dedication ceremony was held on Thursday for thirteen fallen soldiers. John Carrington Savannah Morning News

Jennifer Giles wept as she knelt by the redbud tree dedicated to her brother. Around her neck was a dog tag bearing her brother's picture on one side - on the other, an inscription, "Fallen but not Forgotten."
"Everyone says he's a hero, and he is a hero, but I think anyone that gets up each morning and puts that uniform on is a hero," said Giles of her brother Pfc. Landon Giles, who joined the Army right out of high school. He had turned 19 just before he was killed in Iraq.
Giles was one of six soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division honored in a memorial service and tree dedication ceremony at Fort Stewart on Thursday. Seven soldiers from other units attached to the 3rd ID were also honored.

A somber pause followed each of the names read aloud by 3rd Infantry Division rear detachment Command Sgt. Maj. Sam Perrotta during the service which honored those soldiers recently killed in Iraq. After each name, an individual memorial headstone engraved with the name of the fallen soldier was unveiled. One memorial headstone lay beside each of the 13 eastern redbud trees planted in their memory along Warriors' Walk, a sidewalk flanked by rows of trees dedicated to the fallen after the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Lt. Col. Noel Nicolle, 3rd ID rear detachment commander, described the redbuds as symbols of freedom and the sacrifices made by these soldiers to preserve it. Quoting Thomas Jefferson Nicolle said, sometimes the tree of freedom has to be nourished by the blood of patriots. He also reminded the family members attending the service that the sacrifices their loved ones made were for noble reasons.

Kim Giles recalled her son's decision to join the army. "He was doing it so his family could remain free and help the people in the other country to have a little bit of what we have here," she said. He knew when he joined he would go to Iraq she added.

Pfc. Giles and fellow soldier Pfc. Min S. Choi were killed in February when their humvee was hit by enemy fire. Members of both families attended the service.

Michael Deem, father of Spc. Michael S. Deem was also in attendance. Deem recalled giving his son some articles he had carried while serving in Vietnam - things he thought might bring his son good luck. The articles were returned with the rest of his son's belongings. "We're all really going to miss him. I know his wife especially and his kids are going to miss him," said Deem as he stood by the redbud planted for his son. "Now his youngest son will never know his father."

Subject: 10th Combat Engineers

Comments: I served in Able Company (Kitty Able) of the 10th Engineers from January 53 to July 54. We supported an infantry reg. in the Chorwan area. Maintained roads, built bunkers, bridges, cleared mine fields, etc. Are there any maps available from that period to show where we were located? We were pulled off line and replaced by the 2nd Div? before the armistice. Our company clerk died in an artilary exchange one night. I haven't had contact with anyone since my discharge and I just wonder where we were. All the books written about the war don't say much about the action at that time. The negotiations got all the publicity.

Note from Martin Markley:
Maurice,
It was good to see your message on the Society of the Third Infantry Division website.
You can find maps of the area where you were in January 1953 on the website of the Outpost Harry Survivors Association. http://www.ophsa.org/ The 10th Engineers did a lot of work in our (15th Inf. Regt.) area during 52-53.

Comments: Does anyone have recordings of the 3ID Band from 98 -2001 when I feel our band was at it's best. We played a reunion in Savannah and pulled off several grade six pieces. I've contacted the old commander (Matthew Morse), but he doesn't respond. I was hoping to have these for my personal collection (played principal clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, and sax along with the duties of S-4). Although I got out under less than favorable conditions, that has been reversed and now have my Honorable discharged and am disabled. I also have tons of photos of the band from that era (we had more C1 players than the band had ever had) if anyone is interested. I've tried the Army Bands websites, but there seems to be a problem. Thought maybe this society could help since the band did a lot of hard work (more than most people know) and think that these recordings should be preserved for time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Dean Stanley Rogers

Comments: I'm searching for the military records of my father from WWI: Dean Stanley Rogers He was born on May 18 or 19, 1898 in Bemidji, MN and enlisted in the Army on November 19, 1917 in St. Louis MO. He was sent to Fort Riley to boot camp and then on to the front in France. His "Wounded in Action" certificate signed by Woodrow Wilson says that he was wounded on July 25, 1918. I know that he was a medic in the trenches above the Marne for 17 days without food or water in July 1918, was pushed back into Belleau Wood, and gassed with mustard gas before he was taken to a field hospital, (I think it was Base Hospital 46) where he survived the mustard gas and "shell shock" but suffered permanent serious damage to his heart. Unable to return to the front, he became a cook for the hospital until the end of the war. He was separated from his unit and it took him over a year to get back to the US when the war was over. Unfortunately he died in 1964 just before we were going to visit France as a family. My mother and I went 2 years later and visited Chateau Theirry, Belleau Wood, and the large cemetery in the area.

His "wounded in action" certificate states that he was Private 1st Class, Headquarters, 3rd Division Sn.Tn., which I am beginning to understand may be a abbreviation of "sanitary train". I do not know what that is, but would love to hear some background.

Any facts you could supply regarding his service would be greatly appreciated, as I have many questions as an adult that I did not think to ask when he was still alive. If you have any records, photos, etc they would be greatly appreciated. He was a wonderful husband and father.

Subject: Roger Weaver, Korean War

Comments: It is my understanding that during the early months of the Korean War, that units of the 3rd inf. were detached to a provisional regiment being formed at Ft. Devons for deployment to Korea. I believe my uncle Roger Weaver may have been one of those soldiers. I know after basic at Ft. Dix, he was assigned to Ft. Devons, but I don't know if he was ever part of the 3rd inf.. or if he was assigned directly to the provisional regiment. He was upon assignment to Korea, placed into the 3rd batt. 8th Cav. 1st Cav. Div. sometime in early Sept. 1950.
If you could shed any light on this, I would be deeply appreciative.
Thank You
Alan Brainard

Alan,
The 7th Infantry Regiment, of the Third Infantry Division was probably his unit. I will forward your mail to some of them. They may be able to help.

Comments: I am trying to find out any information of the above National Guard Unit and the history of the unit in WWII. My father served originally with the NG unit and was released from WWII under the 31st CA .......However, I don't know what happened in between. There is little information on either unit on the internet that I can use to place where he was, with which unit and when.
I know he served in the South Pacific, was in the Battle of Luzon, & New Guinea. I also know he was on the Islands of Tonga, Fiji, Guam and others.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much!

Comments: My father was a private 1st class and served with the 7th infantry regiment during WWII. He entered the war at 28 years of age and was a part of the Anzio - Nettuno break out in Ialy. He was later wounded enroute to Rome but returned in time to participate in the landing in Southern France and continued on through the Colmar Pocket engagement into Germany. If anyone remembers him I would appreciate getting any information that may be available as he left this world in 1995 without divulging a whole lot about his WWII experience.
Many thanks!
Arthur Symonds
