I have sent you the article and will send photos of Altavilla.

You are so close to San Antonio, and can always become a member of our 36 Chapter here. Anyone can join and receive our newsletter every other month. Our veteran's main focus is the September 9th ceremony each year in downtown San Antonio, to honor the day they landed on the beaches of Paestum, Italy. You definitely need to bring your Uncle to that ceremony, where he can visit with our veterans.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (pstickle) http://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.yuku.com/sreply/3264 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:17:57 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Sgt.

I would LOVE that. My email is gandalfngrey@aol.com and I'll send you an email as well.

I didn't see your dad's name in last years 36th ID Associaton membership directory. Does he know about the 36th Division Association ? It would be great to have his story here or in the historical quarterly. It would be neat to find out if he knew either on of the elkton md T.Patchers. Your father is listed on P.86 of the 1945/46 roster, Shrewsbury Roy E. S-Sgt. Hinton W.Va.

Orby Ledbetter.

Joseph,
I totally freaked out when I received your email. It is a delight to make the connection with my Uncle Jimmy Hill.

p.s. there is a brief break down of the elements of the 36th on one of the posts, finding it may require some luck. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chowhndjr) http://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.yuku.com/sreply/3247 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:44:01 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Sgt.

Thank you for the response. L company sounds right. I've got it written on a sticky amongst piles of paperwork here that I am going to go through tomorrow. I do know from Mr. Ledbetter that they were both Sgt's in close proximity. I need to do a lot of study to understand units, companies, etc. After speaking with him I realized that I'm not nearly proficient in understanding the breakdown and other things as well. I'm going to do some major study before I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (GandalfnWhite) http://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.yuku.com/sreply/3244 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 06:27:59 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Sgt.

He served in L-Co 142nd Inf. Regiment. He may have been one of the original members of that out fit, that made the Invasion at Salerno Italy (9/9/43). My Dad, James Kennedy, came to L-Co as a replacement in Italy along with his friend S-Sgt Joseph "Dick" Gallaher, both from Elkton Md. I have posted Sgt.

Yes, indeed, you are headed for an incredible journey of learning about the history of your Uncle. Please post what unit he was in, as that will help with research. I know Orby from years of reunions........can't remember what unit.

I can feel your excitement and quest to learn as much as possible..........you are in the right place on this website. There are many of us that work together to piece these puzzles together, and we all learn from each piece.

My Uncle is H.L. Gunlock who is 85 and still going strong. All of my life I have wanted him to tell me about his war experiences. My Dad (his youngest brother) says that he hasn't hardly ever discussed them even long before I was born. However, MY son had a project at school and wrote about my Uncle from what scant info we had. I called my Uncle and had my son with me on speaker phone. To my utter astonishment, Uncle Shell (as family know him) said he would be... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (GandalfnWhite) http://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.yuku.com/topic/1171 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:53:14 GMT
