Blaine Ludlow Bingham, 141st A

feeds@yuku.com (cehuff78) — Sat, 03 May 2008 12:47:30 GMT

My Grandfather, Blaine L. Bingham, served in the 141st infantry, 36th
division, company A. He was traumatized enough that he never talked about his war
experiences with anyone, even my grandmother. He died of a heart attack at 43.

My mother, his daughter, is trying very hard to research his war
experiences. What I am hoping to find are any references to him specifically, i.e.
copies of pictures from Company A, or copies of any diary entries publicly available,...

War Stories by John Huston

feeds@yuku.com (semallon) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:58:59 GMT

This evening, April 30, the Documentary Channel had John Huston(who is he?) showing films taken in Italy. The 143rd Infantry Regt. was mentioned many times in the taking of San Pietro. Also excellent pictures of the Italian civilians and men of the 143rd. The 143rd Regt. took in 1100 replacements after the town was taken. Many of the pictures in the Pictorial History were in this documentary. Italian women carrying boxes, barrels, etc. on their heads was interesting. One even carried a casket...

Our Papa was buried today. Military Honors were held at the cemetery. The ceremony was beautiful, emotional, tearful and filled me with pride for Papa's accomplishments.

The cemetery staff informed us that Papa is entitled to a marker from the VA. I've got the name, rank, branch of service, religious symbol, dates and medal documentation ready. What I am having difficulty with is the proper phrasing for the engraving at the bottom of the marker.

help with 143rd WWII POW

feeds@yuku.com (redcloudwinter) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:01:34 GMT

Hi All-- I am helping a friend find info on her father who was a POW in WWII. I've been trying to interpret the NARA info on him and I think I read the parent unit info as 143rd Regiment, which would fit with the timing of his capture. The parent unit number was 0143 and the parent unit type was 06. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I saw a couple of postings that indicated there is a regiment roster somewhere available, but didn't know how to access it. His records in St. Louis...

142nd Inf Regiment at Monte Maggiore December 3 -9 1943

My name is Ken Joyce and I have written the book " Snow Plough and the Jupiter Deception" on the history of the US/Canadian First Special Service Force. I am seeking information regarding the role of the 36th Division / 142nd Infantry Regiment during the attack on Monte Maggiore. There appears to be some disagreement between the history of the FSSF and that of the 36th with regard to the timing and success of the attack by the 142nd. I need to know exactly when the 142nd attacked...

Hello, and a Roster Question

feeds@yuku.com (sdkfz181) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:47:28 GMT

Greetings.

This is my first time here. Interesting info.
My great-uncle was in the 36th, but I don't remember which regiment. I had seen a roster somewhere on the internet years ago, but can't remember where.
Any ideas? He was in the 36th only for a while, and never shipped out due to almost dieing from his inoculations.
Any help would be appreciated.
His name is Robert Grogan.

Copy of Map- Invasion of Italy

feeds@yuku.com (jflores1012) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:27:30 GMT

Hello,

My grandfather was part of the invasion of Italy, that was in the Salerno Bay at Paestum on Sept. 9, 1943. We plan to attend the next ceremony on Sept. 9th. My grandfather's name was Roberto Reyes Subia.. Before he passed away in 1969 he left my mother a copy of the map from the Invasion of Italy that mentions the 5 Battle Stars and 2 Amphibious Assaults. She has kept this copy in a safe place, and the map is complete. We are not sure if this is something that is already...

Looking for information on Nixon, Texas recruits

In reviewing the message boards, I see several individuals are very helpful in providing information on family member who served during World War II.

I'm interested in learning more about my father's experience, but I have limited, sketchy information. My Dad's name was Jose G. Aguirre from Nixon, Texas. I believe he served in the 141st, 36th division, but I'm not sure. He saw limited action, as he was wounded right away (lost an arm)in the invasion of Italy. I...

My grandfather was in the 36th ID, 141st regiment, company D?. He died of natural causes in 1995. He had mentioned a man by the name of Woodrow Sheehans who was his Cpl. from Somerset, KY. My father is interested in finding more info on Sheehans, ie. location of where died, the connection he had with his father and possibly a connection with any living relatives. My grandfather was present when he died, but never gave any specifics. It affected him quite a bit. Anyone out there able to help...

WW2 Rangers

Hi. I have been doing a little research on my father in law, Sgt William J. Jones (Company A, 111th combat engineers). My nephew wrote an article about his Grandfather a few years back after he interviewed him for a school project. In the article he mentioned that his grandfather( my father in law) was a ranger. I asked my father in law, ( whom I will call dad) about it. Dad said that he was not a ranger but he did have ranger training here in the states. Anyway, before I asked dad about it,...

Followup to previous post re DD Bruce/Dwayne Bruce/Darwin D Bruce

Regarding the Bronze Star medal my dad was awarded. He was wounded in action at the Rapido River and so was out of action for the rest of the war. Where can I find out exactly what the written commendation said? It is my understanding that everyone who received the Combat Infantryman Badge also received the Bronze Star. If this is so, and I think it is, would there still be a citation accompanying each recipient's medal, or at least a citation/commendation in writing, given to the unit as...

Seeking List of 36th Division Members During WW2 and Years After

feeds@yuku.com (danpoynor) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:31:42 GMT

I'm researching my grandfather and believe he was in the 36th.

Is there a list of members I can verify his service? He may have been in the Air Guard instead of Infantry Division.

His was Lt. Col. George D. McMorries and possibly stationed at Hensley Field, Grand Prairie Texas and the Pentagon.

Ultimately I'm looking a photo of him in uniform for our family records.

Thanks,
