M1, i never feel outta the loop here, i`m just a little slow in catchin up with the posts being on the road so much.
i`ve done a lot of reasearch on MP units & have a ton of links about MPs. I`m still waiting for dad`s records from St Louis to confirm the parent unit of his escort guard det, was the 504th. i should be receiving records for uncle John in a week or two, his records were damaged in the 1973 fire but they are sending copies of what they have.
So far i`ve identified at least 4 MP units with arrowheads for the Invasion of Southern France, the 206th MP Co & 504th MP Co (6Corps), 204thMP Co. & 759th MP Bat (7th Army).
Later on 23 Sept the 73rd MP Co landed at Marsielles for duty with the 7th Army.
MP research is difficult because there was never a complete historical record made of the MP Corps. For example there is almost no documentation on Maryann`s father`s 206th Co on the web. I would have loved to gone here to get the scoop:
I was going to put this photo link in the Anzio motorcycle post, but i guess here will do, theres a few hundred photos including 3 pages of MP motorcycles.
