My father served with this division. I am trying to help him find some of the people he fought with. His name was Norman R. Jones. He left the US 1 JUL 44 and returned 13 DEC 45.

Ask him if he knew Hugh Justice or Frank Dybowski.

I just found some great stuff on James Minor and Col. Lynch of 1st Batallion 142nd Regiment. Type CATD Infantry Monograph and the author was Siscoe. It
describes a stealth march of 142nd Regiment Company B and A into Ober-Otterbach Siegfried Line Action. Lots on Batallion commander Minor and 142nd regiment
commander Lynch here. Also tremendous wealth of WWII actions. These are used at FT. Benning to train infantry.

Can anyone tell me what the role of headquarters troops at Selestat might be? I noticed in another WWII book that the HQ's troops took the prisoners that
were captured. Would this be the same in Selestat? Also???What would the role of replacement troops be at Selestat? Would they be organized for carrying
parties of food and water to the rear? Would they participate in much patrolling?
