I'm a new member that just recently found this site. My dad, Edward A Voshell Jr. was a Technical Sargent in the 1264th. I'm working to find information on this unit, their travels through Europe so I might be able to connect stories I remember him telling to real life events. I heard these stories when I was very young, which was many years ago. Sadly my dad passed away in 1978 and I didn't get the opportunity to talk with him about his experiences when we were both adults. I've discovered there is a book on the 1264th that was published in 1945, but have not been able to find a copy. If anybody knows where I can get a copy it would be appreciated.
I'm just starting my journey on this discovery. At some time I'd like to go to Europe and follow the path they took, if possible. We have a few pictures that don't provide much information. A bridge over a river, the Rhine? and one labeled SS Headquarters in Switzerland. I faintly remember a story that related to a concentration camp. Not sure if this was Dachau or not. Trying to connect these memories.
Most of the posts I'm seeing are a few years old. Hoping there are enough people researching their parents that I can gain some information. Points, ideas, existing material are greatly appreciated.
My name is Valentino Rossetti and I am the webmaster of the site dalvolturnoacassino.it .
I have collaborated with Marion J. Chard in relation to the 1108th presence in Italy.
I am conducting a research about a unit of German self-propelled guns that fought at Monte Porchia in the days between 3 and 8 January 1944 (just the days when the 48th companies were called to operate as infantry to give help to the conquest of this position).
The German unit was named (in German) 2.Batterie SturmGeschutz Abteilung 242 and was equipped with 75 mm guns.
There are some photographs that show some of these S.P. guns, hit or broken, taken January 9, 1944. The shooting location is generally referred to as "San Vittore area" but it is almost certain that it is near Monte Porchia (also included in the San Vittore area).
I just joined today. I've been looking for information about the 351st engineers. My great-uncle was a member of the unit and information about him and this unit has been hard to find. I've lucked out so far discovering that this was his unit and I also found his serial number. His name was Earl Arnold and I believe he held the rank of Corporal. Any help would be great appreciated. I've included his picture in case anyone may have unit photos. Thanks!!!
Hello, I am Leslie Krogh Feuerborn. My father, Ray Krogh, served in the 210th Military Police Company as a Private in WWII. He died when he was just 38 years old in a mountain climbing accident so our family wasn't able to find out any direct information about his experience in the war. Fortunately, his parents kept some of the letters that he sent home which has allowed us some insight into his experience. The 210th MP Company is not easy to find much information about so I'm hoping this site will help me out. He also served with Corporal Leslie E Haughs who died on December 25, 1944 and is buried at Henri-Chapelle Cemetery in Liège, Belgium. My dad thought so highly of Cpl Haughs that I was named after him (although I am female).
I look forward to connecting with others through this site.
