38th signal battalion

[Rich A]

It was like lightning struck yesterday evening. A friend of me received a photoalbum from a woman who is living in the same village. She had some pictures from the war. Those pictures were made in december 1944. The only thing she knew was his name, Carl. She also had a picture of him which was made in March 1945 in Munchengladbach.

After they left our village in early March 1945 they went to another place for 1 week and after that they moved to Munchengladbach. So we know that he was from 38th signal battalion. Let's hope we can get a roster of it or so.

 

We also received a diary from another woman and there were some poems in it from American Soldiers. Some of them were from the 38th. We are trying to find out more about them. I searched the NARA website but had only one match so far.

 

I send a letter to Mr. Foiles yesterday so it will take some time before there will be an answer.

 

Thanks for the help anyway SonofaMP.
