Sorry to say that this site is more of an archive than an active blog.
I have pieced together all the information about my grandfather's Army career that I
can, from the meager paper trail that survives. Until I am able to (someday) visit the National Archives in College Park, Maryland and look up more information about his division, battalion and regiment, or maybe uncover some after action reports or battalion journals, this is pretty much all I have. I could write a letter requesting info from the National Personnel Records Center, but there may not be much there due to the fire in 1973 that destroyed 80% of their WWII records.
I'm afraid I cannot tell
readers of this blog anything more about his role in the war, he was
silent his whole life and unfortunately the rest of that story died with
him. So from now on, posts on this site will be sporadic unless I come
across some startling new piece of evidence. I will continue to share
his unique photographs and try to explain what is going on in the
pictures, but that is pretty much the extent of what I can offer.
