Request for 251st

[Walt's Daughter]

Jelle Nieskens,

 

First, thank you so much for adopting this grave of PFC Rose!! This is very

kind of you!

 

Sadly, the U.S. Army Engineer School has no archives on the 251st. We are

dependent on veterans or family members to donate, and no one has donated

for the 251st. I am so sorry!

 

The is a little of information of PFC Rose at the American Battlefields and

Monuments Commission. Go to this web page:

http://www.abmc.gov/search/wwii.php

Type rose john l into the space and click on "search."

 

Here are links to what Engineer units similar PFC Rose's did in World War

II... These web pages have nothing on PFC Rose, but they can help give you

the bigger picture/story into which PFC Rose would be placed, what Engineer

like him did, etc.

And Mrs. Marion Chard's web page is great for context:

I will keep looking, but I doubt that we will find anything.

 

Good luck and thank you,
