new info on the 540th

Stevin,

Man!! Are you trying to document every soldier buried at Margraten American Military Cemetery?!?!?!? Wowser!

Cool site. I like the format of your biographies. I have something like that on my site. Where do you find all that info? Such as the photo of the original internment of Pfc Robert E. Morneweck, 101st AB? Look at that! You have a soldier from the Italian Campaign; Private Bolton Grant of the S. African troops.

I also like your book reviews. I have several books listed on my site and a brief description. If you want to add any to your site, then I can write a longer description. My most recent purchase was "Alone and Unarmed".

 

From your list of Americans, it appears that most are airmen. I see the 30th and 35th Divisions. I was surprised to see the 2nd Armored---I didn't think they were in that area.

 

Back to the units that Marion listed.... I think all of these fall into either two different Armies at two different times and locations. Some of these were with the 5th Army in Italy. That includes the 82nd Airborne early in the campaign. Believe it or not, the 2nd Armored Division was a reserve unit in the battle for Sicily but it was not deployed in Italy(the 1st Armored Div replaced them). The others, I assume, were units that were in the 7th Army in France. And some divisions were in both armies.

If you are only interested only units that fought in the campaigns in France/Germany, then from what little I know about the 540th Engineers, you should follow the trail of the 7th US Army.

 

I'm at a point where I need to order Op Reports and General Orders and AAR and I need to know the best way to go about doing this--other than going to the National Archives myself. Any tips??

 

PS: The link for Sgt Clawson of 101st Airborne doesn't work.
