Hi Marion, I hope all is well. Guy Mill's daughter Barbara Patterson and I finally made contact which was great - they sent me some information frm the 49th ECB. I am busy making a Google map of the movements of the 1106th ECG and plan to do one for the 49th ECB at some point. Is there a way for you to display them or will they have to be linked through URL?
Does anyone know if there are any 49th ECB reunions?
I am writing Total Army Personnel Center to get information on MIA and KIA's from the 49th - it takes a while to get a response. I was researching the 49th ECB casualty reports and noted that on Sunday September 17, 1944 near Dasburg Germany 4 personnel were declared MIA.
Major Ernest M Cassidy
1st Lt Vincent J Slomka
TSgt Albert H Meyer
Ssgt Chester W Morris
Does anyone know what happened on that day?
I learned about 1st Lt Slomka - O-1297797 SLOMKA VINCENT J ARMY European Theatre: Germany Returned to Military Control, Liberated or Repatriated GERMANY Oflag 64 or 21B Schubin (Moved to Usedom) Poland, Altburgund 53-17
Oflag64 was a German POW camp for Officers near Sczubin (not Schubin) Poland - the story of this group is incredible.

I haven't found any information on the others yet but I am looking.
Can I continue to send you information for posting? You can put all links on my granddad's page Ernest Napier.
Thank you!
