Merry Christmas to all!
My father is John Kondrup, of Middletown, NJ, where he had been a carpenter. He was a drill sergeant at Camp McCoy, WS, where he met and married my mom. After training many, he went to Europe as a Master Sergeant with the 251st Combat Engineers. They moved to Rumson, NJ, after ther war, where he still lives. He rarely talked about WW2 until after mom passed away (3 years ago). Now we are looking for any info we can get. He still has a couple of pics (if we can find them
) which I hope to post soon.
Welcome ! Your dad probably yelled at my grandfather!!! Also at Camp McCoy! I have some photos of camp on my blog. Swimming at the lake, drill, field duty. (280th ECBs)
