I’m remembering my father, Oliver Peer, on this Fathers Day and reread his information on your website. Thank you for the time and effort that you have given to develop this wonderful resource! I will be sharing this with my grandsons today.

My uncle, John Prendergast, from Utica, New York, was part of the 801st. He was killed during a training accident at Fort Hood, Texas in April 1943. There was always a lot of mystery about how he was killed. When John's body arrived home for burial, his brothers found a huge depression wound in John's chest. They theorized that it may have been from the recoil of a tank's 75-caliber gun. To complicate matters, the jeep transporting John to the hospital was in an accident and overturned en route. My question: Do any of the children of those 801st soldiers remember any stories their fathers may have told about this accident? My family has always longed for details of this and the Army would never describe what happened. I realize that this is a shot in the dark, but I'm hoping someone, somewhere might be able to supply information about what happened to my uncle.

My dad Curtis Reid was in this unit in the reconnaissance division. Is there a way to get a printed copy of this info? Is it in a book format?
Thank you so much!

Amazing to see the updated website! I remember first finding the website while searching for info on my great-grandfather who served in 635th TDB and finding his name in memorabilia shared on the website. Truly impressive. Thank you for the hard work.

My father, Orin Harper was in the 825th TD. I knew nothing about what he did in WW II other than what I have learned in recent years.

It was so nice to see Uncle Nicky's picture and to read about his regiment. He was killed before I had a chance to meet him. My father loved his little brother very much. Thanks to all for service at such an important but sad time in our history.

I would like to find out more information on my father’s tour of duty during WWII. All I was told is that because he could speak French he was assigned to drive officers. I know he served at the battle of the Bulge, he spent time in France and ended the was in Nuremberg Germany. I have the flag that was flying over the court house. He brought it home as a souvenir. I a looking for more information that I can send the museum I am donating it to.
If anyone has an information pleas email me
Thanks

My grandfather was in WW 2 with the 899th. I remember asking him about the war he would talk about his experience all day long and I sucked it up I enjoy reading or watching documentary on the war. I am a 3rd generation Army soldier/ veteran.
