I am looking for any information, or friends of my father Janos Gulyas. He was worker in Neukirchen GE and taken to Tittling camp at Passau and dismissed as civilian at June 1945.
Anyone knows something?

Enjoy photos and stories of his experience of WW2 and General Patton. Visit my photos and video interview of my grandfather, Aaron Teeple, by clicking on that little house icon under my name to the left. It will take you there. Let me know if you knew my grandfather and would like to say hello.

Sgt.Murray Lefkowitz - my father was part of the 11th Armored Division.

He said little about his experiences during the war.
I know he was a Yiddush/German speaking interviewer @ Matthausen, as well as some sort of military governor at Attersee Austria at the end of the war. I would greatly appreciate learning anything anyone can offer in the way of information about him and his role in the 11th Armored Div.
Thanks

I WAS IN THE 11TH ARMORED DIVISION IN WWII AND MY DAUGHTER IN LAW FOUND THIS WEB SITE. HELLO TO ALL MY ARMY FREINDS.

I am an author of a book on a Spanish survivor of the Mauthausen death camp. In interviews, the survivor describes being assigned to a work detail outside Mauthausen when he met approaching U.S. forces, most likely the 26th Infantry and/or 11th Armored Divisions. He speaks of a deep friendship he developed with an Army official named Ramon Navarro (Novarro/Nobarro/Nabarro?), who assisted as an interpreter when the survivor was debriefed outside of the Mauthausen prior to the assault on the town and camp.

I would be very much interested in getting in touch with this soldier, if he is living. The only information I have about this officer is that he was among the U.S. forces to liberate Mauthausen, and he was Hispanic, fluent in Spanish. The survivor believed he was an officer, but this may be inaccurate.

If Ramon could be identified and located, I would be willing to reunite captive and liberator at my expense, possibly for your next reunion.

I would be extremely grateful for your help.

Hello! What a wonderful website. My grandfather Clarence William Thomas was part of the 11th. I am trying to piece together his military service. I would love to hear from anyone who knew him or any advice on how to start researching his military history.
God Bless Our Troops!
A grateful citizen, Juli

In reading the many messages I noticed that so many descendants were searching for info on a father or grandfather. To all of you of the 11th who remain, please record your story on tape, in a scrapbook,or some way for your descendants. I have transcribed & edited around 200 letters that I wrote home during WWII, letters that mother saved. You should do this for your children.

God bless all of our American veterans, on this 2008 Veteran's Day. Especially the members of the 11th Armored Division! My dad, Jim Burkemper,SV battery, 490th AFA, passed in 1999. He always stood and saluted the flag, and was proud of his association with his comrades.

My previous post I miss spelled my uncle's name, it's Hockman not Hochman.

My uncle was part of the 11th Armored Division and was killed in action at the Battle of the Bulge. His Name was Wilbur A. Hochman PFC. I am doing my best to find information about him but it has been spotty. I think he was in the 55th armored infantry battalion and I think he died between 12/31/44 and 1/31/45. He was from Chicago and had three sisters and a brother. I would appreciate any information I can get. Thanks! God Bless Our Military!

I am searching for my grandfather. He could be a member of the 11th division in WWII. My grandmother was working in Austria, M?nzkirchen until the year 1945. My mother was born in February 1946. It is very important for me to find my grandfather, because he is a part of my family. Perhaps my grandfather is still living?
This man on the picture could be my grandfather. I only have this picture, nothing else. Please who can help me? Thank you.

Just googled 480th Ambulance & came up with this site & a post from 6/28/07 from Tom Karnes. My dad, too, was ambulance driver for 480th & have a few pictures. I have been trying to get info on the 480th for some time with no avail. This is the first. Anyone who can help route me to someplace for historical records, pictures, would be appreciated.

My dear Father passed away last week. He was such a proud American and taught me to be just like him. Please keep us in your thoughts. Kelly

Hi. I've written before because not only was my father, Eli Warach, a member (in fact, he was president at the time of his death in 2001), but I have been writing about WW II, liberators, etc. for several years. I am now in the process of writing an article on liberators in the Houston, TX area. If anyone can point me in the right direction to interview people in this area, I'd love it. Thanks!

Does anyone remember Cpl. Giartonia of A41TK? Tank driver until volunteering for Paratrooper training. Well this is my current VFW picture. My telephone number is: 630-851-4486 if you want to call me. eMAIL me at giartonia84@comcast.net.

My father was James Wyatt Posey and served in the 11th Armored Division. He passed away 3 years ago. Did anyone, by chance, know him and can provide information about his time in the service?

If so, please email me at the address listed above.

I am looking for anyone that might know or have any pictures of the 11th amored division, 490th field artillery, medical comapny. My father, Frank Hass, served in these areas. I do have one picture of him in Europe with two men. I am guessing it is Normandy. He passed away Jan 21, 2008. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Laura, Glad I could help.
Frank, thanks so much for all your help, let me know when the CD arrives!
To everyone else... I am still looking for anyone that may have served with my Dad, Jules G Musyl. Co A, 55th AIB from 1943-1945. He trained at Ft Dix and somewhere in Madison Wisc. Was discharged Dec of 1945 out of Ft Douglas in Utah. any information would be most appreciated! THANKS & GOD BLESS ALL!

My dad, E. F. (Tuny) Glenn served during WW II in the 3rd Army, 11th Armored Division, 21 st Armored Battalion. He was a 2nd Lt. He is very interested in anything about WW II and his Division and Battalion in particular.
He lost his "collar brass". They were rhomboid shaped with a tank on each one - no rifles or swords. Does anyone know of a source where I can purchase these?

I am trying to find the person that posted the picture of Mark West on the Members Photo Page. Mark West, 41st Cavalry, Troop B. While looking through my Grandfather's (Joe Sweeney) pictures, he seems to have an abundant amount of pictures with Mark in it. Please contact me if you know how I can contact this person. (Daughter?)

I am trying to locate members of 55Armored who might have trained on the rifle ranges Fovant Wiltshire UK during WW2.

Gill Nevill

Is there ANYWHERE I can find a "list" of the men who served with my Dad?
Jules G Musyl
11th Armored Div. Thunderbolt
55th AIB, Company A
Served 1943-1945
I see from his scrapbook that he was in Austria, Russia, England, etc.during these years. I believe he was a staff sgt, but not sure. There are also pictures from bases in Madison, WI and Salt Lake City, UT.
He was very tall, 6'4" so I'm sure he would have been memorable. Hoping to find anyone who may have known him during that time. He did not talk much about the war until he became ill in 1978.

My Grandfather's Name was Joseph Sweeney 11th AD, B Troop of the 41st Cavalry Squadron. Records of him seem to be quite hard to find. If there is anyone out there that has any idea as to where I can find more info, or that may have known him, please contact me. Thanks!

My father is Joseph R. Sweeney. 11th Armored Division - B Troop. He served overseas, was wounded in action and received a Purple Heart. I went to several reunions with my parents over the years and am wondering if any of the troop still get together for their reunions. Dad passed away 5-20-1987. I was unable to obtain his military records because of the fire in 1973. They tell me that his records may have been destroyed. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who would have information about my father. We are trying to put together his military record and information. Thanks for any help or correspondence.

I just identified someone in one of the photos in my Dad's scrapbook. The photo was taken at Ft Dix in 1945. The man's name is Manny Schuman. My Dad is on the left. Please, does anyone know Manny Schuman??? Is he still alive??? Contact info???

I'm currently writing a book about the liberators of the concentration and slave labor camps in the final weeks of the war, and would like to speak with 11th Armored Division veterans who liberated the prisoners on the death march from Berga on April 23, and who participated in the liberation of Gusen and Mauthausen on May 5 and 6. Please email me at mh@hirshmedia.us. The book will be published in hardcover by Bantam Dell Publishing. Thanks very much.

Looking for any information about my Dad, Jules G Musyl. served in 11th Armored div. Co.A 55th Arm'd INF. BN. He is on the left in this photo. Who is the man with him? Anyone having any information or remember my dad, please email me. He was over 6' tall, very handsome. Thanks! So glad I found this site!

I have just been given my Dad's scrapbook from WWII. It contains many photos and other memorabilia that I am not sure what to do with. Is there a museum or organization that mighht be able to use? There are notations ofCompany A, 55th Armored INF BN. His name was Jules G Musyl. Looking for anyone that may have known him. There are several photos of guys I would like to try to find as well. Please email! Thanks so much!

My father was John H. Russell. He served in the 11th AD, 55th infantry. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have known him. Like so many others I read of on here, he never talked about the war.

Hello,
My grandfather Leo Guerrettaz just past away this week. Before he passed he told me some stories from the war. He was a tank gunner, I have papers from where he was promoted to corporal in the 55 armored infantry battalion. I think he was promoted again but I am not sure. I have a picture of him and some others with their tank. I would like to know if he received any awards or medals during his service, he didn't like talking about the war much. I am trying to gather information on his military service to make a small memorial for him. I have been able to find a picture on here that was also in a book that he knew the men in the picture. If anyone has heard their fathers or grandfathers talk of my grandfather I would like to hear from you.

My Dad was Lt.Col george Pickett, The xo of the 42nd Tank Bn. Does anybody remember him or was mentioned by Father's ..,?

My father, Sgt. Ralph Edwin Snowberger, past away Aug. 2006. Before he died, he told me of a son he had in 1948,named Joseph Edwin Snowberger. Joseph would be 59 or 60 yrs. old, and he was born in North Rhine-Westphalia area. Does anyone have suggestions on how I could locate him??? Just trying to put my heart and mind to ease!

Sincerely, Ron Snowberger

My father Peter Larnish of Aliquippa/Ambridge, Pennsylvania passed away this past Memorial Day May 26,2008 at the age of 85.

Hello- I am interested in hearing stories of 11 Armored vets capturing weapons factories in May of 1945 for an upcoming book. 2nd hand stories from families would be welcome as well. Thanks!

Although I apoligize for the delay I regret to anounce the passing of my father Joseph Fiteni (D 22nd Tank)in July of 2007. At a very early age dad made it clear the importance that his role in the 11th and in the battles that they faced had a profound effect on him.
He and mom always looked forward to reunions when they were able to travel! On behalf of the family thank you for keeping this part of the "greatest generation alive"
Joseph Fiteni Jr.

My dad was one of those great boy/men who served in Europe during WWII. He was stationed in Iceland building and maintaining airfields then went to France. He has never talked about it much until now and he is confused about dates and which units he was with. He has mentioned the 56th Engineers Company C 2nd Platoon. Also the 475th Engineers and the 17th Ground Force Replacement Center. He says he shipped out of New York on Dec 23rd 1941 and left for home in March of 1944. His name was Perry Brown. Can anyone help with more information. I would love to be able to share this with siblings and grandkids.
Thanks to all who did serve or are serving today. So far I have a son-in-law and a grandson proudly serving their country.

I was born in Mauthausen on 29 April 1945. My mother, Anna Bergman, says that '100s' of photos. were taken of us by US soldiers but we have never found any. We would be most grateful to hear of the existence of any mother and baby photos. Our story features in the Thunderbolt.

Warren Macdonald ,
My father, Edward McCarthy,PFC served with the 740 th/ FAB-Battery B during the Bulge campaign ( St Vith and Bastogne ). Any assistance you could give in contacting pld members of the unit he would appreciate.

Joseph McCarthy

Warren, My father was a member of Battery B 740 th/ F.A.B..Do you know of any of veterans of that battery who may still be alive? My father is getting much older and would like too get in touch with them.He was with the unit thru Bastogne and St. Vith. Please contact me via the internet.

Joe McCarthy
Baltimore, Maryland

We were recently given many of my father-in-laws medals and shoulder sleeve insignias. I am earnestly attempting to identify and chronicle his efforts for our family. Does any one have good online info about how to identify odd medals and patches. I've been to the army recruiters and have perused many "medal sites", but I still have several that remain mystery medals/patches.

Thanks for being a great resource. The 253rd AFA Battalion is still getting together annually. They served and were attached to the 4th, 6th and 11th Armored Divisions. Come see my new blog http://gundooms.spaces.live.com/

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I'm looking for all the information on my grandfather's military history as possible. I do know that he was a corporal in the 11th armored division 3rd army. I know he was in Patton's 3rd army throughout the whole duration of that war. I know his enlist and discharge dates but this is as far as it goes. I wish I could of gotten this information from him before he died in 2004. However like many veterans of WWII he didn't like to talk about it. Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated. His name was Harold E. Fangmeier, he either enlisted in Mason Co. IL or Peoria, IL.

OT: I just received a second phishing email from a scammer that is mining information from this site, connecting my father's name with my email. Please be careful about what you post online.

My grandfather was Dominic Capparelli. He was a Sgt and served as a communications chief in the 11th Armored Division. He receieved the European Theatre of Operations Medal and was awarded the Purple Heart. Any other information anyone has on him would be great.

My Father was Matthew Ostrowski. He was an MP in the 11th Armored Division and was at the battle of the Bulge. I find myself looking at this website today on Feb 20, 2008. Tomorrow Feb. 21 will be the first anniversary of my Dear Dad's Death. He lived to be 95. When he was younger he didn't talk much about the War but as he got older he talked about it daily.
Dad was a great man. He was a Buffalo Policeman and retired as a Captain. I am now a Lieutenant in the Buffalo Police department.My Dad always said that it took his daughter to follow in his footsteps. My brothers chose other occupations.
I must say that my Father and also my Mother are surely members of the Greatest Generation. They grew up during the depression and were both very poor. They worked hard and were decent honorable people who taught their children to be the same and taught by example.
I know that my parents are only 2 of those people and that you genltemen are also of that generation. I would like to thank all of you for everything you have done to make this world that you have passed down to your children such a phenomenal place.
I have had the opportunity to travel to Eurpoe several times and each time I come home I realize just what a great country America is. I know that I have you men, many of whom were young boys when you fought for our counrty, to thank.
From the bottom of the heart of a daughter of a Soldier in the 11th Armored Division.......THANKYOU !

Looking for information on the 490thAFA, Battery C

I have been going through paperwork from my grandfather?s service in Bravo (B) Battery, 491st Armored Field Artillery Battalion during WWII, in the attempt to produce a booklet for my Grandmother, Mother and Sister to have as mementos, as my Grandfather passed away in 1989. I have very little information on his service (since he refused to talk openly about it, which for obvious resaons, is the case with all older veterns. His name was William "Bill" E. Coplin, and at the time of his discharged he was the rank of TEC 4. He entered into active service on 6 Nov 42, and 14 Nov 1945 was his separation date from Carson Colorado Hospital Center. I have his medals which include the Good Conduct Ribbon, WWII Victory Ribbon, EAME Ribbon w/ 3 Bronze Service Stars, Purple Heart w/ 2 Stars and the ATCM (?). I know it?s pretty improbable, but if there are any other photos,information, or possibly someone who served with him...I would greatly appreciate any information.

My grandfather,PFC Charles F. Fletcher, who passed away before I was one, served with C 63rd AIB. It is my understanding that on Apr. 9th 1945 he was near Wiedersbach, Germany looking for his brother, Malcolm (unk which unit). He was in front of our lines and was shot and captured by German forces (possibly SS). He was eventually rescued and was sent home. Anyone who knew him or has additional information please write me. I am in the Army and look upon all vets with honor. God Bless you all.

I am looking for information on Sgt. Arthur Fredrick. He was a tank commander in Company C, 22nd Tank Battalion, 11th Armored Division and was wounded near Vivier du Four, Belgium in January 1945. Any information, photos, or stories would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for any information regarding a relative of mine, PFC Robert L. "Bob" Harris who served in the HQ company 63rd AIB. Thanks!

Hi. I have been looking for a detailed history and pictures of the 42nd Tank Battalion, Company C. Please drop me an email if you can help. Thanks

Looking for information on: 559th HM ORD.
My dad trained at Camp Santa Anita and Camp Cooke in 1943 and early 1944, before going to England and then to Utah Beach on June 9th, 1944.

I have the group picture from my father of Company D, 63rd Bn, Camp Barkeley, Texas circa June(?) 1943 if anyone is interested in finding a loved one in the photo, I will e-mail copy to you. I would also like to hear from anyone out there that would have any memories of my Dad. His name was C.B.Barbary from Greer, SC. He often went by the nickname "Bob" because he had only intials as his name. I know that he was in the Medical Replacement Training Center at Barkeley from about June 1943 until Overseas deployment in Sept 1944 (?). He was for sure at Southampton, England in 1944 and I believe went on to Cherbourg, France.

Hi my Grandfather served with company B of the 811th TD Batt. First and foremost God Bless Veterans! My Grandfather Raymond Oscar Hofmann. or Bill was with a 11th Armored Division. I know he trained in Fort Hood Texas. I know he was on the second wave at Omaha beach, also fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and the Seigfreid Line. He also went through St.Lo, where I believe his tank was hit when he was not in it.(Possibly his commanders life was taken here) Pictures from a book called "THINK".

Anyone having information feel free to contact me ''PLEASE'' and thanks!

My Uncle, 2nd Lt. Wilbert J. Dunn was with the 11th Armored Division, 55th Armored Infantry Bn. and was killed in action either January 13 or 15, 1945 during the Battle of the Bulge. Is there anyway I can find out the Company he was assigned with, any citations he may have recieved. Any information would be appreciated. Thank You

I recently found out my grandfather, Leland A. McGrew, served in the 11th Armored. I believe he was a 2nd or 1st Lt. and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me more information about what platoon or anything else along those lines that they knew about him. Thank you all very much for what you have done!

I am looking for information on my Father-in-law, PFC Henry Dudziec. He was from Brooklyn, New York, and served in the 11th at the Battle of the Bulge. As he was the typical soldier who kept his war experiences to himself, his daughter (my wife Allison) would love some info on this early part of his life. He passed in early 2005 at the age of 79. Please drop a line if you can help me out....

Thanks so much,
Dan

My dad,Arthur Loyd Shipley was a tank driver in HQ company of the 753rd tank battalion during WWII. Dad was from Oklahoma, and the guys called him "pop" as he was 28 years old when they shipped out to North Africa and most of the guys were 19 or 20. Dad died in a tractor accident back in 1980. I am trying to either locate someone who might have known him in service or maybe someone from the 753rd who authored a book about their service. Any information would be appreciated. Please email anything you would consider of interest. Thanks for your time. Curtis Shipley

My Father (Robert Stilwell) was in the 11th armored division WW2. He has never cared to discuss the war with any of us (9 children). He is in good health. If anyone remembers my Father please respond!
Mike Stilwell

I was wondering if anyone here can help me with some research. I write children?s books, and I am beginning a historical fiction book on the liberators and survivors of Mathausen. My premise is an American soldier befriending a young man from the camp after liberation. Of course, it is fictional, but I need some background to write this. I will be interviewing people, but I was hoping someone here could suggest specific sites to go to or specific people to interview. I?m mainly looking to see what the protocol after the war was. Where did the survivors go? Was there anything done for the young ones?
I grew up hearing stories of the Eleventh Armored Division from my father, Eli Warach of the 42nd Tank Battalion; Company D. He happened to be president of your group at the time of his death in 2001. I still have copies of the beautiful tributes many of you had written. I have written essays having to do with the Battle of the Bulge and the subsequent liberation of Mathausen based on his and others? remarks, but since I mainly write for children, I am now working on this upper elementary picture book.
Any suggestions to help with research would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

My father, Marcel E. (Frenchy) Gagnon served with the 11th Armored Division. He was wounded and received the Purple Heart. He passed away at age 89 on December 12, 2007. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers my Dad. He spoke little about his experiences and I especially would love to know any stories that anyone has.

My Grandfather was in Company "A" 21st armored infantry 11th armored division -he recently died and I would love to hear from anyone who knew him during the war. His name is Harold Reinold. Thanks

Anybody out there that served in C Company 42nd Battalion would like to hear from you.

My father served in ww2, they were called the Lucky 38th.Any info would be appreciated his name was Rene Cole.

My grandfather, Leopold Lacher, was in the 11th armored. I never knew him, but would like to know if there is someone out there who did.

Great site!

I believe my father-in-law; Charley Sylvis served in the 11th. He was older, 36, when he served. He has passed away and I would like to know if anyone remembers him. He was from Blair, NE and said he delivered mail while in Europe.

Thanks

My father was rescued as a forced labourer nearby MAINLEUS in Germany when he and his comrades where forced to walk to the Czhech border. I wonder if any of you soldiers who were in combat in that area can still recall of this event. Any information is wellcome

To anyone in the 11th AD/CCR/55th AIB/Co. A-

I happened to read Wm. Fee's diary about his experiences through Europe during WWII, and saw mention of my father, ANGELO MAGELLI- at least, I assume it was my father. I know he was in the 11th AD, and I don't think there were too many Angelo Magelli's. In the diary, he has the nickname "Doc", which I had never heard before. My mother says he was a medic, but, how did he then end up as 1st. Sgt. of an infantry company? Unfortunately, the diary ends before the date when my father was wounded and finished with the war. Does anyone know how to contact Mr. Fee or have any additional information about my Dad so I might fill in some blanks about his life? My dad died several years ago, so I can get no stories from him.

I just read the account of when my uncle participated in the Battle of the Bulge with C company 11th armoured. His name is Cpl. Raymond Imholt.

I'm looking for information about my grandfather's time in Company A of the 56th Armored Infantry Div. Rhineland and Central Europe. At Fame Theatre he was wounded. And he told a story of using wench trucks to lift all equipment and vehicles out of a dead end canyon. He was a Auto Mechanic 014 combat infantryman and we know he entered the service in Tulsa, OK in 1942. His name was P.J. Robinson.

If anyone knows anything about his division or knew him, please contact me at nscheffler[at]gmail.com

I am an author of a book on a Spanish survivor of the Mauthausen death camp. In interviews, the survivor describes being assigned to a work detail outside Mauthausen when he met approaching U.S. forces, most likely the 26th Infantry and/or 11th Armored Divisions. He speaks at length about a deep friendship he developed with an Army official named Ramon Navarro (Novarro/Nobarro/Nabarro?), who assisted as an interpreter when the survivor was debriefed outside of the Mauthausen prior to the assault on the town and camp.

I would be very much interested in getting in touch with this soldier, if he is living. The only information I have about this officer is that he was among the U.S. forces to liberate Mauthausen, and was Hispanic, fluent in Spanish. The survivor believed he was adorned with 4 stripes, but this may be inaccurate.

If Ramon could be identified and located, I would be willing to fly the survivor up from Bolivia at my own expense to reunite captive and liberator, possibly for your next reunion.

I would be extremely grateful for your help.

Stewart James-Lej?rcegui

Have just found this site. Should have done this years ago. My dad, George Pawlo of Jersey City, NJ served in Company B, 42nd Battalion. He passed away in 1963. He was a SGT and received a purple heart. He never said much about his service time. Would like to have information on how to find service details and/or if photos exist. Cannot find him in any photos on this site. I saw March 2007 posting about full company picture ?? is this available yet ?? Thanks to all in advance

My dad, Walter White from Boston, Mass. served in C Co., 63rd AIB, 11th AD from Fall 1944 to VE Day. Prior to that he was with the AAF in England driving trucks and loading planes. Would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who served with him. He passed away in 1968 so we know little of his war experience, other than what we have gleaned from letters he wrote home to our Grandmother from. I'm at wcw188@aol.com. Eternally grateful for your service and our freedom.

My late father, Marvin Krumholz of Newark, NJ, was in the 11th Armored Division. I just watched the Ken Burns' documentary "The War" and heard the remarks of former division member Burnett Miller of Sacramento. Many of the recollections of Mr. Miller were familiar as my father used to tell me and my brothers about his time in the Army and The Battle of the Bulge. I would be very happy to hear from anyone who knew my Dad. My email address is mfkrumholz@yahoo.com.

My grandfather Daniel Chester Woods (D.C. Woods) fought in the 11th armored Thunderbolt Divison. Saddly he passed away in September of '96. If anyone has any information about him I would like to know. My email address is jbw462@hotmail.com.

My father Clarence Deutsch fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He recently passed away. I wish we would have known about this website before. Over the years he told good and bad stories of the times in war. I think, but am not sure, that he was in the 41st Calvary Recon. He was very close to his grandchildren and we would like as much information as possible about anyone who knew him during the war. I was substitute teaching in a 3rd grade class and they were reading the book "The Flag with Fifty-Six Stars" and I was blessed to hear the 11th Armored Division. The book is incredible. I cried as we finished reading it. Any information would be great!!

A new photo gallery is posted here:

He received his training at Camp Hood, Texas. He is 82 years old and belonged to the 705 Tank destroyer batallion. Is there anyone who has a living relative who fought in bastogne during their siege or who was a member of the 705th..my uncle would be extremely happy to hear from you or to hear of your memories of that period. thank you...paul fornek

I am currently in the process of conserving the letters that my grandfather, Anthony J. Curcio, from Brooklyn, NY, wrote my grandmother and great-grandmother from 1943-1946. He was in the 11th AD, 22nd Tank Battalion, B Company. If anyone knows, or has heard of my grandfather, please contact me. I never knew him, he passed away in 1955 when my mother was 7.

My Grandfather Proudly served with the 11th Armored Div. in WWII his name was James Brooks Warren if anyone knew of him I'd love to hear from you becuase I heard stories of how great a solider he was but he was also a Great man just like all WWII Vets God Bless You All!

My Dad, Bob Kinsley, of Belleville, NJ, served in the 11th Armor, 42nd Tank Division, Company B, during WWII.

I would love to have more pictures. Sadly, a lot of his WWII books that he gave me were ruined in storage. I remember looking at them all the time when I was young. Any photos would be greatly appreciated. I saw his picture posted with Leo Zamparelli on your members photos section of your website.

Dad was very proud of the division that he served in and so are we! Dad passed away on August 22, 1995 after a long illness.

I would love to hear from other people or their families that served with my Dad. My Mom, Charlotte Kinsley, is still alive and lives out here in Arkansas by me. Thanks. I will be looking for emails!

My father drove ambulance for the 480th Motor Ambulance Company. I just thought I would let anyone interested know that the surviving members hold their annual reunion in Kentucky. Last years was held in Paducah, KY. This year's reunion will be held at Kenlake State Resort Park in Kentucky (Land Between the Lakes). These reunions are held over the Labor Day weekend every year.

11th armored distinctive insignia, does anyone have sources for the individual DI s of the 11th Armoreds composite units please ?

I am trying to find any information on my father his name was Paul Benjamin Davis. We did not know that he even fought in WW II until I found a box of pictures last year.

Here is my website with the pictures of my father that we found. We knew he fought in Korea. I hope by these pictures someone can help me.
