Subject: 263rd 66th Black Panther Division

Comments: I am trying figure out the travel route of my uncle Pfc Lloyd E McCray of World War II. We have letters from him being in Italy in august of 1944 and killed in France in Dec of 1944. But the records show the Panthers never even left the New York Harbor until Xmas of 1944, He had to go to England and Italy and finally France, but that is not the history of a 66th Black Panther. I see where the 262nd and the 264th were on the Leopoldville ship that sunk. But I can't find anything on the 263rd of the 66th Black Panther Division. His letters have three addresses: First one is (Co L 263rd Inf. from USA 1943) next is (558th Repl. Co 113th Bn. from Italy Sept 1944) and the last letter is ( Co E 15th Inf. 3rd Div from Somewhere in France dec 1944)His AN is 33576345

Comments: I'm interested in finding any and all info on my dad, Blair Wallace Wright or Blair W. Wright . He served in the 3rd Division, 703 rd Ordnance Light Maintenance from 1942-1946; and saw action from N. Africa thru France, Italy, Sicily, Anzio, Germany, Austria, etc. This picture is all I have of him-no records of awards or medals he may have earned. He may have gone by the nickname of "Tex" though he was from Calvin, PA. He played guitar and was a country music/western swing/horse whisperer so to speak. Not easy to forget. He certainly would have had many friends.
He died at home in March 1983. I am one of 6 surviving children and living in Nashville, TN
Any help is more than appreciated

I am trying to get information on my grandfather's Military Service with the 3rd Infantry, Papaya Division. His name was James Leon Wright and I know that most of the records for his Active Duty were destroyed in a warehouse fire. I know that he fought in Hallandia, New Guinea and that he contracted malaria but that is all that I know. Any information that you could provide, even if is just general info regarding his infantry/division would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for providing a link to the past for all of us who never went through the war but who feel that it is so critical to keep these memories alive!

Melissa,
It appears that your grandfather was probably in the 33rd Infantry Division not the 3rd. Best wishes in your search. Try this website: http://www.33rdinfantrydivision.org/history.htm

Subject: 3rd Infantry Uniform

Comments: I have just found your fantastic website for the 3rd Infantry Society and I think it is superb. I live on the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands, U.K. and am a member of a small group of people who are interested in the 3rd Infantry and at the various fetes and military vehicle events on the Island we portray the 3rd infantry as it is today in Iraq. We have 2 hummers and lots of equipment as well as firearms that are currently being used by your army today.

My request I guess is a little cheeky, but of all the group I am the only one who is dressed like the poor relation. All the other guys are 5 foot and regular build and therefore are able to find original used uniform with insignia to fit, where as I am 6 foot six with a 54 inch chest. This means that any item of military clothing is always far too small and short for me as I need a 2 or 3xl long. Would you know any ex service men of this size who may be able to help smarten me up. We fly the flag for the 3rd infantry over here and albeit the money we raise for charity goes to ex-English servicemen we are keen to promote the American army as well. If you were able to offer any help in acquiring me a uniform I would be eternally grateful, I did not realize that I would find it such a job to find something to fit.

Waiting and hoping that you can help,

All the best,
Damien Horn
