articles on men from 540th - Albert Phillips and Jules Richmond - Walt's Daughter - 07-03-2014 Joe Veltre shared these with me. They are individual articles on men from the 540th Engineer Combat Regiment.
The first article on Albert H Phillips was posted in the Utica Observer Dispatch on March 10, 1948.
The second article on Jules Richmond was posted in the Long Island Star Journal on February 10, 1956. This one is a real heart breaker.
Thanks for sending these to me Joe. Appreciate your efforts. Albert H Phillips article in newspaper.pdf Jules Richman article in newspaper.pdf articles on men from 540th - Albert Phillips and Jules Richmond - Jean Jacobson - 07-17-2014 I have had to be off line for a couple of weeks and just getting a chance to get up to date.
What a tragedy for Richman and his daughter. I wonder what ever happened to both of them.
Jean articles on men from 540th - Albert Phillips and Jules Richmond - Walt's Daughter - 07-17-2014 I know. just wrings your heart. I wondered about that too. articles on men from 540th - Albert Phillips and Jules Richmond - CaptO - 07-17-2014 I just read the two and yes, it was a very sad story for the Richmans. As I read the other I thought, "It must have been an interesting time after the war, when so many of the men's bios had stories such as Captain Phillips. I suppose it sort of parallels now with so many people having been to Iraq and Afghanistan (often several times) in their bios. I guess you never think of your own contemporaries in that sort of awe - just as the WWII generation didn't. I suppose they talked about the admiration they had for the vets from WWI or the Banana Wars. Of course having Grand-pa in the Civil War was probably pretty neat, too! articles on men from 540th - Albert Phillips and Jules Richmond - Walt's Daughter - 07-18-2014 Great analogy. Yes, it doesn't hit you until much later, or never.
