I sadly announce the passing of my father, George Donaldson and his commanding officer, Colonel David Pergrin of the 291st ECB. My father passed away Monday evening after a battle with cancer a little over a week after Colonel Pergrin also passed.

Both men were heroes in the highest regard and even though my father would always say the real heroes were the ones who didn't make it home, I never looked at my father as anything less than he was - a brave hero.

When I learned of the passing of Colonel Pergrin the other day, the first thing I thought was - the Colonel must have been doing a muster call on Monday and was coming up one short.

I will see you again, Dad. I love you.

BEST WISHES TO YOU M1 FROM ACROSS THE POND!

My grandfather recently passed away and I am trying to get any and all information regarding his company as possible...I have already contacted the national archives and hopefully they will be able to get some information for me....but I was hoping anyone here might have any information...we have several photos my grandpa took during the war including one of his group...I guess my first question would be, how many people would you expect were in his company? There's a picture of about 10-12 people, is that his company possibly? Or are they a lot larger? There is absolutely ZERO information on the 1010th on the internet...several other treadway companies have their own websites or there's tons of information on them, but not the 1010th...does that mean they were less significant, smaller, etc? Again, I appreciate any help at all you may be able to provide!
