Please stop with the passive/aggressive ploy. I asked you to direct any personal comments to me privately. Is that too much to ask?
Spare me the public lecture, if you please. Say anything you want to me privately and I'll give it a fair hearing.
Otto, looks like AFHRA has AR 615-26 (or something related to it - I can usually tell from an item's cryptic index card entries, but not this...
You thought wrong.
An SSN (a number) can cover several different MOS (a job title). By the time TM12-427 was published in Jul 44, SSN 616 had been superseded, so I...
It's not much help, but the 146th doesn't show up on a 1 Jun 45 ETO unit list, so he didn't come back from there with that unit. His discharge...
It's really hard to steal a march on Tommy, but I drove past a Holiday Inn Express earlier today. Here's a link to the 5th ID history mentioned...
A bad haircut and a close shave in one sitting.
Hi Anne, Glad to see you back in the hunt. A couple of random thoughts: Looks like the Army destroyed all WWII troop movement passenger lists,...
Moving is at the opposite end of the fun scale from this stuff, so I'd much prefer to help here. Here's a link to Maxwell's microfilm holdings...
Tommy, the 1125th also got Occupation credit. Do discharges normally also include that notation along with the campaign credits? If it should be...
The 1125 bumper marking is the 1125th QM Co, Air Service Group, which was an organic element of the 319th ASG for at least part of its ETO period....
Nice pic. Glad he was on our side. Back to the discharge one more time: he is shown as arriving in ETO on Sep 11 44 and is credited with...
I've never played matchmaker before, but another new member is on a quest similar to yours. That would be als3438, on this thread:...
Sorry about the alphabet soup. It's an "occupational" hazard. MTO - Mediterranean Theater of Operations - essentially North Africa and Italy. A...
I believe I would ask USAMHI to look for a unit summary and honors. I've never asked for a service unit, so not sure if they have anything. Maybe...
The 699th was with the Third Army in May 45, but not in Apr. An incidental mention in the fold3 material shows them working salvage near Le Havre...
If you make the slightest effort to look in the right volume, the answer could not possibly elude you.
The Third Army report for Sep 44 shows the 976th serving at army level and was the only such unit at army level. One or two other maintenance...
How much training did tank and TD battalions have in indirect fire?
