Yes, through the grace of God all 3 of us made it. Lost track of the Sgt. Ed Garrowbut corresponded with Johnny Moreal until about 2 years ago when something happened and cannot locate him or hear from him even though I have tried many times and searched for him. One more pic than I will cease for a while in posting. I am "guarding" ? about 20 Kraut prisoners who came up i a truck with white flags attached
on the last day of ETO war to surrender. We didnt really know what to do with them but
were stuck with them till some outfit came up and took them within 2 days. Pic shows
Sgt. Ed Garrow "checking his guard. Me"". Fact is I have his M-1 carbine as that damn
Thompson of miine was kinda heavy and uneeded as they probably got home before me
and we felt that was all they were interested in. This was in a village near Salzburg Austria after we were requested to leave Berchtesgaden after capturing and clearing it
on May 4 '45. Seems like "they" wanted us out for some reason.
My Dad was in Austria I think around the same time in Stier guarding POW's, he was with the 1st Infantry Div. He also assisted DP's somewhere around Poland. He was with Railway Security. Maybe you met!!! It wouldnt surprise me ..Here is one of the photos of my Dad in Poland
