Subject: Private William Christensen

Comments: I am the grand daughter of Private William Christensen. Private Christensen served in the 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, his service number is 42061010, he died November 8, 1944 and received a purple heart. His is buried in France at the Epinal American Cemetery. This is all I know about my grandfather from the research I have done thus far. My father William Taft Christensen, II never knew him either because he was killed before my father was born. I would like to know anything and everything I can about my grandfather. I hope you can help me or maybe someone knows who he was and can tell me. I would appreciate any information. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Jessica Briand, f/k/a Jessica Christensen

Subject: Looking for a book

My father in law served during the Korean War, 1952. Sergio Miranda, from Puerto Rico. I would like to know where can I find a book from the 3rd Infantry Division L-Company. He won a price, instead of getting a new Cadillac he opted for the cash. In the book, the commanding general is presenting him the money. He also received a Bronze Star Medal. Any suggestions where to look?
Thanks,

Subject: Identifying organization lingo

Comments: I cannot determine if the following information on my father's discharge papers refers to the 3rd Infantry Division. It states: Headquarters Company 3D Military Government Regiment.
Does the 3D mean Third Infantry Division or Third Army? It mentions the Central Europe GO 33 WD 45 campaign. Induction was at Fort Jay, New York in 1942, training at Fort Bragg, NC, served in Europe from March 1945 to June 1946, and discharged at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Have tried Google to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Matthew Hare---Sergeant in the Third Infantry during WW2

Comments: I'm looking for any information about my father Matthew Hare who was a sergeant in the third infantry during WW2. Unfortunately he has passed away and would never talk about his war record. I know that he was in the Battle of the Bulge and also the invasion of Northern Germany. Any info provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Webmaster's Note: Matthew Hare's name could not be found in the book "History of the 3rd Infantry Division, in WWII". If Sgt Hare was at the Battle of the Bulge, he probably was in the
3rd Armored Division not the 3rd Infantry Division which was in Southern France at that time.
The 3rd Infantry Regiment (known as the "Old Guard) which is also confused with the 3rd Infantry Division is currently the regiment that is stationed at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. Click on their names to go to their website for assistance.
