This is a wonderful website, which I found today. I am trying to find out what Army Division, Battalion my Dad served in during World War II. I found some old pictures today from May 1944 with Camp Claiborn, LA written on the back of his picture with a fellow Army buddy. Does anyone know how I can find out what the name of his Company was? His name is Leon Pikul from Cleveland, Ohio. I have a few pictures dated 1944 that state he was in Chimay, Belgium in the winter of 1944 and also Raeren, Belgium. Dad was a Private First Class and very proud to serve his country...but never would talk about his years during the war. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Admin reply: There were numerous engineer units in Europe, so we would need a little more info. Maybe the pics show an arm patch, etc.? Send me an email and I will let you know how to obtain a copy of his discharge papers from his local state Veteran's Admin.

My father was part of the F 343rd Engr. WW 2. Elroy Hubbard (my father) was never one to talk about the war. I recently found his Honorable Discharge paper. My dad died in 1965. Middle Eastern African Service Service Medal with seven Bronz Stars and a Bronze arrowhead. His service shows the following. GO 33 40 WD 45 Algeria-French Morocco Sicily Naples-Foggia Rome-Arno Southern France Rhineland Central Europe. Just wondering what the Bronze Stars and arrow head were awarded for. Any other info would be welcomed.

Admin reply: Bronze stars were given for campaigns and arrowheads were given for landings. If a soldier participated in the Invasion of Southern France, he would have been given a bronze star for the campaign and an arrowhead for the landing.

Hello. My great grand-father was a member of the KY National Guard, 49th Infantry Division. Was called to active duty, rank of 1st LT, 347th General Service Regiment, Corp of Engineers US Army. Some years ago, I wrote to the Army requesting information on how to obtain replacement medals for him to create a family heirloom and shadow box. I am the last remaining member of our family outside of my own children. My two sons are in the military. Kyle is a vet who served in Iraq with Army National Guard Infantry in 2010. Nick is currently active duty Navy airman stationed on the USS George Washington in Japan. Any information or suggestions how I can get information on my grandfather would be so appreciated. Thank you.

Admin reply: Try this Veteran's Admin link. Simply go to the home state of your grandfather and fill out the forms. You are next of kin, so can request a copy of his discharge records.

Hi All,

My Grandfather, Alex Stewart, was in the merchant navy during WWII. He was involved with the Mulberry Harbours that were used during the allied invasion of Normandy. At that time he lost his compass and was given a compass by an American serviceman. The compass has USCE on the front (US Corps of Engineers). I'm the grandson of Alex and now have the compass. I'd love to find information about the US servicemean who kindly gave his compass to Alex. I'd like to know the story from the other side if anyone is out there that knows anything please contact me. Many thanks to all that keep the story alive and give the chance of sharing information.

All the best,

Mark
