Received this email a while back and just started doing some research. I will post as I find. Here's the letter:
He was an officer in the Hq & Hq Co. 51st Major Port; the Hq 13th Port; and the 524th Port Battalion.He was an engineer and Chemical Officer. His name was Hugh C. Ryan and he was a Captain, then Major.If you could tell me where those ports were located and any other info about the Chemical Officers(I know that could be too much information, though), I would greatly appreciate it. Dad was fromSault Ste. Marie, MI, but joined the Army in Cleveland, OH. I'm in awe of your contributions to ourmilitary!Thank you, in advance,Cheryn Ryan

I just sent him an email too, asking if he has ever come across her father's name during his research.
