Group: New member here (George Church),

 

Looking for ANY information or any member who might know anything about PFC Harry Church: my father.

 

Dad entered the Army on 4 August 1943 was discharged on 7 January 1946. There are family rumors of his actions on D-Day at Normandy. His service papers do not show much other than stating that dad served in Normandy and Central Europe---I believe he was also at St. Lo, France during the fighting there. The Veterans Administration provided that information but there was not much in the packet I received: medical records, some training forms and decorations plus some mustering-out payroll papers.

 

It is believed that dad had something to do with the 720th Railway Battalion and the 3660th sometime after the D-Day invasion. It appears that dad was lost or detached from his unit. Again, I have nothing but rumors to go on. When dad was alive (he passed away in 1995) he did not speak much about his military service. I have some pictures and letters with names of his service buddies but that too has led to nothing. Most are now gone and the addresses or telephone numbers are long lost.

 

Anyone---PLEASE, help me if you can. I am just trying to understand who my father was and his small contribution during desperate times.

 

I, George Church, am a veteran of the armed forces and served in Vietnam: that too was a long time ago.

 

Please contact me through this forum or telephone me at:

thank you,
