I am working on his VA Claim. As you probably know, Army and Air Force records from WW2 and the Korean War were burned in the fire at St. Louis in 1973.

I am looking for anyone or any documents which would provide information on his Purple Heart. His DD-214 just gives the Purple Heart. Can you refer me to a good source?

I just wanted to verify that I am at the correct web site to learn about his experiences during WW II. My father died in 1959 but I do remember that he was very proud of his military service. My mother told me that he fought in Europe for 3 1/2 years and was in North Africa, Sicily, Rome, France and Austria.
Thank you, Patty Johnston

Webmaster's Note: Cpl Peter J. Sardelich Co. D 15th Infantry Regiment was awarded the Bronze Star for action in France Feb. 4, 1945 from the book "The History of the 3rd Infantry Division in WWI" on pages 423 and 501.

Webmaster's Note: With little modesty, we recommend our website www.3rdiv.org with an updated page for the 2007 deployment of the 3ID at www.warfoto.com/Oif2007.htm . Ft Benning's website is not active as of this date but can be checked out at https://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/ . They also have an online newspaper "The Bayonet Online" which can be reached at http://militarynews.com/bayonet/ .

The Fort Stewart online newspaper, "The Frontline Online" is probably the best source of news about the 3ID in Iraq and can be reached at http://www.stewart.army.mil/ima/frontlineonline/imafrontline.old.asp

Subject: My Grandfather Herman Joseph Buckner's service

Comments: I'm at my last line of hope on trying to find out what my grandfather did in World War Two. I was going through some of his old things and I came across a 3rd ID arm patch. On his discharge papers he fought everywhere that the 3rd ID fought. One thing confuses me, his papers say that he served with the 214th AAA Gun Battalion Battery "D". I don't know if this was an attached unit or what. I honestly can't find anything on this battalion. The only thing I found was people posting that they had family that served in the same thing, that's all. His name was Herman Joseph Buckner. I believe he was a private or private first class. I have tried looking around my house, which used to be his, for anything and I find nothing. I'm hoping that you might be able to tell me what I am looking for or at least send me in the right direction. He passed before I ever showed interest in WWII and no one close to him ever really talked about it, so information is in a small dose from my family. I thank you for taking the time to read this and possible help.
