  Introduction Hans Senden
Posted by: hsenden - 03-08-2018, 10:07 AM - Forum: Introduce Yourself! - Replies (6)


Hello,


 

I am Hans Senden from The Netherlands (close to Margraten Cemetery), and I have adopted the grave of Pvt Howard B Hicks from Kentucky. 
He died on November 28th 1944 in Immendorf or Beeck (Geilenkirchen), Germany. As part of the US 279th Engineering Combat Battalion (for the 84th Division of the 9th US Army during Operation Clipper), 
Howard was helping deactiving minefields, when he stepped on a undetected mine. He was killed instantly.


I hope to find more information about his time with the engineering battalion.

Hello all,


My grandfather served with the 401 Combat Engineer Battalion during World War 2. He was drafted and reported to Ft Devens in Mass. As a lot of you know, a fire took place in the 1970's in St Louis Missouri which destroyed many service records. I'm trying to piecing together a bit of history for my 2 sons about there Great Grandfathers experiences from WW2. I hoping to find anyone that might know  or know of someone who could have served with him. Any information would be greatly appreciated.


 


Regards,


Jason C.

I was trying to do some research on my father's WWII experience since he has passed and spoke very little about them. I am a 20 year AF vet that spent a good portion of my career flying med evac. So I am hoping to connect with someone that knows someone, etc


Thanks!


Rick
