I am again putting out the word for anyone who can fill in some gaps about my grandfather. I have gathered some info but hope to learn more. A few things I can tell you about my grandfather that might helps are:
His name is Francis J. Ryan, born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut.
His service number is 31 338 193.
Dates of service were from August 3, 1943 to January 3, 1946.
The papers I recieved from the records department in St. Louis listed him as assigned to the 276th Engineer Battalion and his Enlisted Record and Report of Seperation listed him as Headquarters and Service Company 370th Engineer Combat Battalion. I have been told stories from my father that he also drove a general around for some time. I have may photos that he left me and will post them on the website when I can. I hope this name rings a bell with someone. Thanks to the forum for helping me get the word around. Attached is a photo of him just for starters.
