Nice looking young man. Many thanks to his niece and to you for sharing this with us. Ah, another piece of the puzzle has been solved.
I am looking up patch right now...
It is the 4th Armored Division shoulder patch. Hmmm, must have started out with that unit? That is very interesting.

Received this letter this last week
I forgot to let you know that the Mayor of Stewart Manor was very appreciative of the info you and I put together on Lt. Nicol, and he expressed it in a thank you letter.
In researching Stewart Manor residents, I came across a story (attached) of another SW serviceman who survived the war, though much of his time was spent in a German POW camp. Since he was a navigator in the USAAF, the story doesn't quite fit into your website, but it should put a smile on the face of anyone who cares to read it.
Again, thanks for your help with Lt. Nicol.

I am attaching the story he sent to me regarding Richard Matheis. ![:pdt12:](uploads/emoticons/default_armata_PDT_12.gif)
