373rd Engineers

[Walt's Daughter]

Saw this entry in a newsletter I receive. It was posted in the Normandy Allies AMITIE - Spring 2010 Volume 1

 

I am trying to find anyone who was in the 373rd Engineer General Service Regiment under Colonel Frank F Bell II. My father was in this unit and was offered a book of the work history of the 373rd when he got out of the service around 1947, and refused the offer. Now he wants a copy. Can you help? Please email me. Linda

 

Well I wrote to her in care of the Normandy Allies, and received an email back, stating they would put me in touch. A couple of minutes ago, received this email:

 

Ms. Smith of Normandy Allies.com sent me an e-mail. I found one copy of the unit history book that I was trying to find but I was only able to find photo copies of the book. The United States Army Military History Institute Reference Branch in Carlisle Barracks, Pa 17013-5008 , phone # 717-245-3971 was able to help. I received the copies right before Father's day. He was so happy. If anyone else can help me or needs or wants more information about this book, please have them e-mail me at (left off for privacy) and please fill in the subject box with 373rd General Service Regiment. I do NOT open mail that I do not recognize. My father was in company D Headquarters. Manuel Griffey. If you would like to let the other guys know this , they can contact me and I will relay this on to my father. I would still like to see or have a copy of the book rather than the photo copies.

 

If anyone would like to get in touch with him, please let me know and I will put you in touch. As you know, I do not like to post email addresses on the web. That only leads to trouble.
