My father, James Purdham Sr, served in the 11th AD, 492 AFA, Company "C" during WW II. His home town is Stanley,Va. Does anyone recall this name or serve with him? I read with interest "Edgar's" entry as my father shared the same experiences of service. Are there any websites or book's covering this units history specifically? He was a tank man and also helped "spare" with members of the boxing team. Any information regarding my father, his unit or the units involvement/actions/history would be greatly appreciated. Also I heard there is a way to get replica medals that he earned during the war as well, any info with regards to this would be appreciated as well!! Thanks!!
