Exciting letter France - 540th Engineer
#3

Translation

 

Hello,

 

I am collector of militaria of the second World War for a long time. I live in France, in the country East to the border with Germany, I do research.

 

I discovered a former camp of the American army and I found five sets of GI dogtags.

 

The one is the name of WILLIAM COX, (N° 14020473) thanks to your site I learned that this soldier had been decorated with a PURPLE HEART and that it belonged to the 540th combat engineer. Thanks to you!

 

I have not any other iinformation on this soldier. Do you have other information on WILLIAM COX? I am researching the photos and of all pieces of information, thank you.

 

Do you want photos of the camp US I found in the forest?

 

Sorry for the text in English but I not versed in your language.

 

Greetings,

Damien
