Subject: 15th Regiment Colmar Kayersberg Hill 351

Comments: I am looking for any WWII veterans who fought near Hill 351 (also known as Bloody Hill) between Colmar and Kayersberg France in mid to late December 1944. My grandfather fought on the German side and died in the battle. My research has indicated that possibly the 15th regiment and/or the third signal company may have seen him. I've come across a KIA picture that looks remarkably like him, so maybe someone can shed some light on his last days. Any information on the battle would be helpful.

Comments: My father served with the 3rd Division, he landed in Africa and was shipped home from France just before VE day. He was an active member of Outpost 22. Just recently I found out that he had been awarded the Audie Murphy award for service to the Division. Apparently my stepmother got the information but never forwarded it to me. I am Norms oldest son and have collected all of his medals and awards and would like to include this information in our family history. I would also like to see if I can get a copy of the citation. I was also wondering if you could help me get documentation on the medals he was awarded, especially his three Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars. Apparently my mother-in-law has lost this information.

Subject: uncle's service in Korea

Comments: I am building a memorial case with burial flag and medals etc to honor my uncle who served in Korea. I have spent well over 9 months researching and looking everywhere and writing for his medals etc. The day I received 3 of his medals coincidentally, there was a front page story in our newspaper about The Forgotten War. There were stories about 3 men who served and horrible battles they were in. As a child, when I had access to my uncle's, of course such things were of no importance to me. Now they are gone. I would like to know where he was in Korea, any major battles he may have been in, any info to help me get a nice historic record of his service. He was in the 5th Army- it says his most significant duty assignment was Svc Btry 537th FA Bn. He was a marksman and professional artillery. I am searching for all awards, medals, badges, etc and would love to hear from anyone with knowledge of his unit. Contact via email please. Thank you!

Subject: Looking for "then" 1LT Trinkle, Scout Plt Ldr, 3-64 AR

Comments: Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, as mentioned on my request prior I was with PzBtl 354 at Hammelburg during the late 70-ties. We had a very strong partnership with 3-64 AR at Conn Barracks, Schweinfurt. I was then a SSGT with the scout platoon PzBtl 354. We trained frequently with our counterparts from the scout platoon, CSC 3-64 AR. 1LT Trinkle was the SCT PLT Ldr then.
In 1991 I had met LTC Trinkle for the last time, he was then S-3 of 3-64 AR, as far as I remember, when he attend the shooting competition conducted by PzBtl 354 in OCT 1991. I was invited too, as I was transferred prior to me officer's training course. It was the last time that PzBtl 354 was able to arrange the competition due to the fact that in SEP 1992 it was disbanded. It would be a pleasure if I could find LTC Trinkle via your side.
I appreciate your endeavors.

Subject: Looking for SFC Hill, 2-30 IN

Comments: Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, In 1977 I was a SSGT with scout platoon of PzBtl 354 at Hammelburg. My PzBtl 354 had a very closed partnership with 3-64 AR BN. For this reason my BN CDR, was asked by the BN CDR of 3-64 AR if he could send soldiers to train for the EIB with his soldiers. Roughly 12 soldiers of my BN attended the training for the EIB at the SCHWEINFURT training area in June 1977. The training was conducted by 2-30 IN for personnel of 1st BDE 3rd ID. At this occasion I got in contact with one of our instructors, SFC Hill. In late 1977 he was transferred from 2-30 IN to be an instructor at the 3rd ID NCO Academy at KITZINGEN.We made good friends and had frequent get-togethers, being at his home or mine. In Summer 1980 he returned to the States and I had been unable to find him yet. It would be very helpful if you would be able in supporting me to find SFC Hill. I appreciate your endeavors!
