I do not believe I have seen how the rest of the units got across, except in the biographical letter, that some units were in smaller vehicles that could drive ashore? Just wondered how my dad might have gotten across the channel. He said he was on the docks when the Leapolville was loaded. Thanks

I have a photo of him in the Arles Staging area in July 45. I remember him talking about Little Rock and Ft. Rucker. Shipping overseas, they missed their boarding and had to be put on the next ship. Their original ship was torpedoed. Do not know if this was an Atlantic or Cannel crossing or the names of he vessels. In France / Germany he was a platoon sargent for heavy machine guns. Any information or contacts would be appreciated.

I have pictures he took during that time and most of them were taken in Paris and Germany. If anyone knows where I can find information on the 264th Regiment, please contact me. My father passed away in 1992. He would talk very little about his time during WWII and what he did talk about I didn't pay that much attention. Now that I am much older and he is gone, I would like to know more. Thank you, Maureen

There must have been over 100 pages of pictures scanned in - just like a school yearbook - with pictures of each man. After hours of looking I found a picture of my father-in-law. I have since lost the link to the site. If anyone knows the site can they please post a link to it.
