Many thanks to Linda Wells for providing us with this great map.
Good afternoon Marion,
I have just recently begun a project researching my father’s military history. After my Mother’s recent death, I am now trusted with the family photographs which date back to the 1900’s. Many of these are wartime photos, predominantly WWII. I would like to share these and hopefully learn more about the men who fought beside my Father. So far I have ascertained that he was 345th Engineering Regiment, Red Bull, 34th Division, 2nd battalion. I may have those out of order! I have also found a photo album of my Father’s which in which he “glued” snapshots and wrote the name and hometown of the men he was with. I have located his enlistment card and have his discharge papers as well as a few other interesting items, one of which I am attaching. I have not reviewed all of your information so you may already have this map. I truly admire all of the work you have done, and hope to be able to share what I have as you have shared so much.Best Regards,Linda Kennedy WellsDaughter of Edmund Kennedy

That is really cool. I wish I could get in touch with Rocky - he would really enjoy it.

You know what, I have written and I believe I have even called, but no reply from anyone. You'd think that someone would be intercepting his mail and would take the time to at least give me a two sentence reply.
He is still on my 34th Email list and when I emailed the group within the past week, it DID not bounce. So either he is alive and kicking and no one is reading his emails, or he is in a home or worse yet, no longer with us, and no one has put a stop on his mail. I dunno!
