Forgot to post this, but got a response from NARA in St Louis, explaining:

 

The National Personnel Records Center is neither staffed, nor budgeted to perform extensive....

 

Then they politely went on to tell me my options and...

 

Well funny thing, for I've had others tell me THEY acquired morning reports, including Captain John Fallon, 36th Combat Engineer, who recently received an envelope of ALL the morning reports for H Company! What the heck?!?? :armata_PDT_19:

 

So today I composed the following sweet letter (on my VI Corps letterhead), and am mailing it tomorrow.

RE: Veteran’s Name: Poniedzialek, Walter

Request Number: XXXXXXXXX

 

Dear NARA:

 

Several months ago after visiting your site and reading the instructions, I sent a request to obtain some morning reports for the 540th Engineer Combat Regiment. After a short period of time I received a response (see copy of letter enclosed).

 

I was considering some of your suggestions, including hiring a private researcher, when I spoke to several of my colleagues, including WWII veteran, Captain John Fallon, 36th Combat Engineer, who informed me he received a package from NARA in St. Louis, containing ALL the morning reports for Company H, from the war. I asked him how he acquired these and he replied, “I sent a request letter…”

 

My question; why have several friends in my circle been granted their requests in the same time period (2011), while I was turned down?

 

So I am writing again today to be kindly reconsidered. I would like to obtain the morning reports for H&S Co, 540th Engineer Combat Regiment. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Marion J Chard

Historian and daughter of

Walter Poniedzialek

540th Combat Engineer

 

 

Stay tuned for updates from yours truly.
