Help Needed - Private John Zak - 143rd Infantry Regiment

feeds@yuku.com (kriegsmodell) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:32:39 GMT

Hello all,

This is my first post. Hope I am putting this in the correct area.

I am seeking any possible information on Private John Zak, ASN 33271156. I believe he may have been captured during the Salerno actions on 19 September, 1943. Later released from Stalag 2B Hammerstein on or about 10 August, 1945. This information comes from internet searches and NARA-AAD which is all I have been able to locate.

Seeking any information (roster, history, awards, etc)...

Bill H Skirvin WWII

I am assisting a friend whose father Bill H Skirvin was in the 36th ID and apparently activated for WWII. She would like to get information on his service. He is not listed in the WWII Draftr Registration nor the WWII Army Enlistment databases therefore she can not send a request to St Louis for his record. He drove an ammo truck in England in support of the US Army Air Corps. He returned in 1945. He was buried with full military honors in Pflugerville, T in 1996.
