| Subject: How can I get the rest of my Father's Medals Date: Fri, 25 Dec 2009 From: "Nance Kruh-Meyer" NKruhMeyer@ahaanet.com Hi My father Louis Kruh, served in the 94th infantry in WWII—he was awarded several medals—I don’t know if I have all of them, and sadly he has memory issues and cannot tell us about how he earned these medals—I can tell you that He has a bonze star(part of it) and a purple heart, and I have a nazi belt on my desk. His dog tag says 42042172-T44A How can I get the rest of his medals, and how can I get a copy of the orders issuing these medals?? I am very proud of him and want very much to learn more about his heroism. God Bless you!! |

My husband is looking for a book he had as a child that told the history of the 94th as they travelled across France. His father drove a supply truck. I do not know the name of the book, but am told it had numerous pictures in it. If anyone has any ideas
about this, I’d appreciate knowing a title and author so
I can search for the book. |
| From: "Jennifer
Smith" Subject: William Frank Smith Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 My grandfather, William Frank Smith, was in HQ Co 2nd bat
301 Infantry during WWII. He passed away in 1975. Does
anyone remember my grandfather? He was from Buford, GA. Prior
to being drafted by the army he was supposed to play for
St. Louis Cardinal’s as a pitcher. He would not
talk about his experiences in the war with my father and my father
knows little about his unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
From: "Dave
Graham"prvstock@comcast.net Mr Helms: Before all are gone and the photos just go to the wind, why not make a mass plea/appeal to your readers to get these unit photos loaded onto your site. After years of contacts, A vet of F/317 provided me with a partial
photo of that company (probably at Camp McCain). It clearly shows my
Uncle who later died at Bannholz Woods on 2-10-45. |
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 My uncle, Thomas Bernard McDonnell, served under General Patton,
while in the 94th while in Czecoslovakia.He passed away in 1992 and
once I recall seeing a photo of him receiving the Silver Star from
Patton. Does anyone remember Thomas McDonnell ? My uncle was from
Lyndhurst, NJ? My uncle never shared his war stories but I recall
that his unit was ambushed. Uncle Bernie was able to get away and
secure a tank at which time he killed some 50+ Germans. |

From: "Crawford, Michael MAJ MIL USA TRADOC" <michael.crawford@us.army.mil> My name is Major Tony Crawford and I am trying to track down information on my grandfather. Like many WWII veterans he never spoke of his experiences and passed away in 1982 when I was very young. I was told for years that my grandfather had served with the 95th, but now after discovering some old photos at my gandmother's home I now know he served with the 94th Infantry Division. In the photo he is wearing the distinctive 94th helmet with three other US soldiers and a captured Wermacht soldier. I would like to learn more about his service and "fill in the gaps". Is there a database or resource anyone can point me towards that could tell me more specifics such as company, regiment etc...?

| From: "Carol Kelly" <weedlady@roadrunner.com> Subject: 301st Infantry, Company B POW camp in/near Fallingbostel Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 I
just tried without success to contact Lisa Abke who had posted
a message at this site Oct. 13, 2008 asking about anyone else
who was a 94th infantry, Company B, WWII P.O.W. My
message to her bounced; guess the address is outdated. Maybe she
will see this.
My
Dad, Charles (Chuck) Bondie, was with the 94th in WWII--
the 301st Infantry, Company B. Like Ms. Abke's grandfather,
he also was taken prisoner after the commanding officer
surrendered company B near Orsholz , Germany on Jan. 21, 1945
and ended up at a POW camp in/near Fallingbostel, Germany. Prisoners
there were freed on April 25, 1945. At my request, and also to
give the story to his grandkids for a school project a number of
years ago, Dad has written a little bit about his experiences from
the time he entered the war until taken prisoner, but will say
little about his captivity except in rather general terms.
I
have been wondering how many other members of the 94th's
former POWs still are living, and used Google to find this
website. Interestingly, there is one other resident in the same
facility as Dad who also is a Detroit native and who served in
the European Theater during the war, though with a different outfit
and never was captured. He & my dad seem to have hit it off
as friends and recently they went together to an honoring
ceremony for veterans held here in town.
If
there are any other people out there with stories to share
relating to the same time frame & circumstances,
please write.
Thank you.

fought in World War 2 in this division. His name was Glenn Victor Pugh.
He was a Staff Sergeant in K-Company, 301st Regiment, 94th Division,

you have any idea of where he might have died on that particular day?
I am also wondering if the data of death is accurate. So many men lost
their lives during the Battle of the Bulge and I am wondering if it
was possible to always keep those dates accurate. |

Alan & Barbara Fox My father, Vernon B. Fox, Jr. was in the 94th, M/376. He passed away
in 2002 and is recorded on the TAPS page. Recently, I obtained an inexpensive
scanner and have been scanning a few of dad's pictures from the war
with other soldiers depicted in them. Few are marked as to who these
soldiers are, but there is one photo marked Pop Everson and Homer Greer.
Would like to make contact with these soldiers or their families to

Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 My
father, Elmo Urban, was in M Co., 376th Reg, 94th InfDiv. He
was a machine gunner and arrived at the 94th on Jan 15, 1945.
As a member of one of the MG platoons, I assume he was "attached" from
time to time to the line companies (I,K&L). As many have stated
in their searches, Dad rarely spoke about the war. He passed away
in 1998 and I am trying to find anyone who might have known him
and could relate what they all went through. I have several pictures
of him with several others in a window of an SS barracks. |

 From: "Joseph Tamberino Jr." <nascarfan424140@yahoo.com> To Mr. Harry Helms, Hi, My name is Joseph J. Tamberino Jr., I'm writing to you this morning, to see if you can help me find out about my Grandfather, Fredrick B. Chasse Jr. PVT. #31431789, who severed with the 54th Signal Battalion HQ. Co., 94th Infantry during WW II. My Grandfather had passed away last year, And yesterday was his Birthday, He would have been 90 years old. Being a Veteran myself, and who comes from a family of many Vets, My Grandfather would never talk about what he did, or where he was during WW II, as many hero's, only to say he was in the Battle Of The Bulge. Last week I bought the new DVD of the movie Patton, One of my favorites, and it has a special documentary in it about the 94th Infantry Division, as you probably know, In it, the 94th was not in the Battle Of The Bulge, but at the Sigfree line, Where Patton hung the 94th out to dry and sent his armor north to Bastone.I need your help if you can, to close this chapter in our family as to where he was, and where he got wounded. He did tell us that he was a part of Patton's 3rd Army. I've also enclosed a photo of his medals, very impressive. Also, On his DD 214, there is now mention of the Bronze Stars, only the Purple Heart. I would greatly appreciate any kind of help that you can give.
Thank You Very Much |
Subject: Robert H. Carter, KIA Jan 1945 Sir, My grandfather, Robert H. Carter, served in the 94th and was KIA Jan 16, 1945. His serial number was 31430827. I met his CO at a 94th reunion in St. Louis around 1992-93, can’t remember which year. My grandmother was able to find some peace with being able to speak to his former captain and garner details of her late husbands death. Anyway, I am quite interested to find out if there is anyone still around who knew my grandfather and could shed some more light on his service prior to his death in combat. I am currently serving on active duty in the United States Navy, stationed in Japan. Very respectfully, and thank you for any assistance,

From:
Tim Cochran <timdawn2004@earthlink.net> 94th Infantry Division, While
moving my mother out of her house last year, I came across an interesting
item. It is a wooden cigarette case. It appears handmade. On the
front is the 94th Infantry Division insignia and around the insignia
are the words "Our thanks to the American
Army" at
the top and "Czechoslovakia" underneath the insignia. All four sides have a texture to them and are stained. I assume
for striking matches. Are you familiar with these items? My
father was in the Navy in WWII, stationed in the Philippines, but
he taught at a military school in Missouri for many years — Kemper
Military School and Junior College. I would be willing to bet he
got
this from a member of the military department he worked with at Kemper. If you would like I could email a photo of the case. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Tim Cochran |
Subject: Wooden presentation plate? Dear Sir, I am not sure if you can help but I have received a wooden plate as a gift with your unit insignia and your theaters of operation carved into it. I have attached a picture of it. It is well crafted, but there are no initials or names on the back; where I would have assumed a soldier might have signed his work. Neither is there any regimental or smaller unit identity, so am thinking rather than a unique piece it may be one of many used as presentation gifts. I am hoping someone there might recognize it and be able to provide some history on it. It is beautiful in its own right and I am happy to have it as part of my collection, but it would be that much more meaningful if I had some history on it. I would greatly appreciate whatever help anyone could provide. Sincerely, Jeff Senft PS:I am looking forward to reading up on your unit on the website. |

Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 Hello, I am the daughter of Alfred Meidlinger who was also in the 94th Division, 301st Infantry, Company F. My father died in 2002, but never shared anything with any of his 8 children about the war as this was an awful experience for him and he didn't like to share the bad memories. I now have sons of my own and my 8th grader is finding himself increasingly more interested in my father and his war experience. I am writing in hopes that you may know if it is possible to find specific information on soldiers in the 94th Division or if there is anyone that may possibly remember him and have a story or two to share? I know that my father received a Bronze Star for bravery on the battlefield, but beyond that I'm sorry to say that I don't know much. I appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thank you, Sincerely, |
