  Hugh C Ryan - served in engineer port battalions/companies
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 03-25-2015, 11:09 AM - Forum: WWII ENGINEERS - Replies (1)


Received this email a while back and just started doing some research. I will post as I find. Here's the letter:

 

 

He was an officer in the Hq & Hq Co. 51st Major Port; the Hq 13th Port; and the 524th Port Battalion.
He was an engineer and Chemical Officer. His name was Hugh C. Ryan and he was a Captain, then Major.
If you could tell me where those ports were located and any other info about the Chemical Officers
(I know that could be too much information, though), I would greatly appreciate it. Dad was from
Sault Ste. Marie, MI, but joined the Army in Cleveland, OH. I'm in awe of your contributions to our
military!
Thank you, in advance,
Cheryn Ryan

Supplied to me by Sal Cataldo. Many thanks!

 

 


 

PLEASE pass this along to any veterans you know is very helpful for all Servicemen and women of all wars.

Comment:
Someone has gone to a lot of trouble. If this helps one person, then it was worthwhile. Please pass this on to all Veterans on your-mail list.

Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and how to file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied claim with the VA. Please pass this information on to every Veteran you know. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available for all veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you and then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best interests.
