I've had some published in the 4th Infantry Division Association magazine Ivy Leaves without any luck in finding IDs. I even have some names, but have been unable to find them on any muster list.<br /><br />I have been fortunate in connecting with some of my dad's former Army buddies who have been able to give me some info.<br /><br />Have you tried to get your father's military records?Ralph Poorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648306237042315988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029944956061005572.post-23438517268113328592013-01-21T21:19:46.223-07:002013-01-21T21:19:46.223-07:00My father was in the Army in WWII also, for almost...My father was in the Army in WWII also, for almost four years. In England, then in France, in "Intelligence." The only photo I have of him with a buddy is a long shot with tiny little images of people -- as in those old cameras.<br /><br />I hope that someone searching "Poore" or your other family names will come upon this blog and photo, and you can learn more about your dad's Army experience. My dad never wanted to talk about his -- he took those secrets very seriously!Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.com
