My father was William Martin "Bill" Carmichael. He was from Meridian, MS.   He was a .60 millimeter mortarman and truck driver.  He was  wounded in France and taken to a hospital in England, then went back to the front.  I would appreciate any information anyone has on the unit and would really like to talk to someone in the unit that may have known my father.

I'm looking for anyone who remembers my father, James Maddi, who I believe served in the 357th regiment of the 90th. He came from Jersey City, NJ.

When doing some family genealogical research, I discovered that my father was captured in Germany on February 8, 1945. My father was never very talkative about his war experiences when I was a child. I do remember looking at the contents of a strong box full of his army mementos that included information about his POW status. 

My father is now 86 and lives with my sister in Pennsylvania, but his memory is not that good any more. Please contact me if you remember him. My genealogical research has made more appreciative of what those who came before me have done and gone through, so I would like to know more about my father's service to the nation during war.

My name is Marc Laurenceau and I'm working on a book called "Words of D-Day, Letters of Heros, 1942-1944", which will contain letters and log books of soldiers between 1942 and 1944. That's what I'm looking for.

I am wondering if you have that sort of documents or if know some addresses of British/American/Canadian/German veterans who took part in the Overlord Operation on June 6th 1944. I could then correspond with them and propose them to take part in the book's writing.

If you have an idea, send me a mail and I will send you back my address in France.

Thanks for your help,

Yours sincerely,

Can anyone help? This man is my Grandfather. Did he serve in Both world wars? He was member of the 358th infantry, 90th division, 179th Brigade he enlisted in Oklahoma. I believe he was born in Illinois on 03 April 1894. I am looking for someone who might be able to locate him in 1900 or 1910 with his family.

He served in WWI in the PFC HQ CO 358 INF 90 DIV. This branch was out of Oklahoma. His entry date into the military was September 1917.

I believe he is in Brewer, Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1920 census.

He married Minnie Perry in Oklahoma after 17 Jan 1920 and before the birth of their son on 26 Dec 1921. This couple were divorced before the 1930 census as Minnie was remarried by this time. in 1930 Minnie had been remarried for less than 2 years.

I have not located him in 1930.  By 1941 he is in a VA hospital in California. He died  Feb. 1960 in California.

I believe he had a family after 1930. I would love to locate someone in this family. And I would love to locate someone who is from his family line of DAVIS. I don't have his parents. In the California death records he list his birth state as Illinois.

..... information on Captain Joseph Meboe, Battalion Surgeon with the 2nd Battalion, 358th Infantry. He served in the campaigns of Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes and Rhineland, up until February 18, 1945, when he was rotated away from the front.

Anyone who served in the Medical Detachment, 2nd Bn., 358th, or who was one of his patients, or who knew him in some other capacity, I'd be extremely grateful for any stories you could share.

Dr. Meboe passed away in 1959. He was my husband's grandfather. Unfortunately, none of Dr. Meboe's family ever really knew what he did during WWII. So we are just now trying to piece together his military service so we can preserve it for posterity and honor his memory.

Thanks in advance to anyone who remembers Captain Meboe.

My father, 2nd Lt. Hiram J. Wright from Louisiana, was assigned to I Company, 3rd Bat. 357th Reg. shortly before the battle at Beau Cordray. He was captured along with the remaining men of I Company during the course of that battle on July 10 (approximately). Dad ended up in Oflag 64 in Poland and eventually escaped ending up in Odessa, Russia. He passed away last year(2002). I am seeking information about who else was in the company with him when he was captured and details of the battle that day. Also, I would like to know more about the trip from France to Poland as a POW and if anyone knew him in the POW camp.

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for you help.
