Louie,
Fits info on my dad's discharge paper, all but - left Europe Oct. 6, 1945
and entered N.Y. Oct 13, 1945. This is were my dad and most his
buddies left from to go home. He had told me a very moving story about all of them seeing the LADY in N.Y. harbor when they came in on the ship.
My dad was discharged on Nov. 19, 1945.
I also know the group was not training in Africa, Dad said they saw alot of action there.
Was wondering what main group the company was with? I know it was not under Patton, who was the 3th, right????
Dad had told us kids many times but now I can't remember, think it may have been the 5th army.
Was the Generals , Bradly (sp?) and Clark?
Know dad was with some of the first troops into Silily and Rome.
Dad received a medal from Eisenhower in France and a week later got
called into his office in Paris and Eisenhower told him his little brother had been killed in a hunting accident in the states. My brother did have the letter Eisenhower sent to my dad with another medal a few months later and it had the info on it I want but my brother can't find the letter right now, stored it somewhere.
Was hoping to find out where the history of dad's group may be located.
I am putting together our family tree for my son and wanted to put the history down for him. He had been very close to his grandpa.
Thanks for your help.
Robin
