My father Daniel A. Corrigan was with the 720th Railway Operations Batallion. He passed away in December of 1999 and didn't share very much of his experiences. I am looking for anything I can find about his unit. This is a wonderful web site. I wish he were able to brouse through it with me. Thank you.

Hello I am the grandson of Cpl.Archie Lee Peek. He was member of the 36th. He served from its inception until his discharge after the war. He would not talk much about his time in the service but what he did say he passed down to me. He passed on in Nov 2007. I miss him dearly. I appreciate those who help keep the memory and history of the 36th alive. You help keep his memory alive also. Thank you to all those who served and sacrificed so I may live free.

Admin reply: Hi: Will be emailing you shortly so we can talk about your father. Thanks for posting.

My dad, Anthony Orphanos, served in the 174th Army Corp of Engineers, on the Island of Leyte. He was in Company A, Second Platoon, Second Squad - Attached to the 96th Infantry Division. He is looking for some men with whom he served, though he is 88 years of age - maybe there are a few remaining! If so - I am sure this website will be a bridge to connect him. Also have a picture of his unit, which could be downloaded, and many other pictures to share. Thank you very much.

Hi to all- I am researching information regarding my father, Frank H. (Sonny Mac) McPherson, Sgt.Major, E9, from 1936 to 1968. Mac served with the 101st and was a hard man and a hard hitter from the start and died that way too, at the age of 66 in 1984. I hope some of his Band of Brothers will write me to give me more info of him during the war - in Holland, Bastogne, Germany. Thank you so much,
Pat McPherson Senn

I am looking for any information on the 207th Engineer Combat Btn. My dad, Pfc Clarence Lockner, served in Co. A, landing on Utah Beach in Normandy in June 1944 and participating in all 5 major battles in Europe. For anyone interested, I have a Continental Parade map, created by someone on the 207th that traces their movement throughout Europe, along with several illustrations of highlights during their movement. I also have a number of photos taken during their time in Europe. I'd love to learn more about these guys who kept the infantry moving. Any help wiould be greatly appreciated.

Rascoe was a Capt. in that battalion and held 3 battle stars but could never get him to talk about the war. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I know he was in Belgium for part of his tour but that's about it. Thanks, Len

My father, Otis B. Compton, started WWII as a "90-day wonder" 2nd Lt. and ended as a Captain, Army Corp of Engineers and attached to the 45th, I believe. I've been working on some of the documents he left behind and would love to see a historical account of what was happening at the same time he was writing his letters, etc. What a wonder site and references you provide!

Admin reply: Thank you Donna. Pleased to help. Remember to perform a search on our main site and also the forum. As you can see, we have accrued a wealth of info.
