| 09/12/2010- 18:06 - USA | I am trying to contact any member of "K" Company, 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry, 29th Division, who knew PFC Gino Ferrari. He was killed "Easy Green" Omaha Beach, Normandy. If you knew him would you please write back to me. Thank you. Tom Gunerman |
| 09/01/2010 - 14:02 - USA | Hi to all. My father kept a notebook with a very detailed account of what he and many others in the 29th went through. From D-day to when he was wounded in St. Lo. He was then sent to a hospital in England I believe where he stayed for over a year fighting yet another war for his life. As I remember him explaining the pictures and notes he had written in this notebook I was more and more amazed. I literally thought it was impossible that anyone, non the less, all those soldiers went through this. He mentioned his buddies that were side by side with him and it brought chills to hear him elaborate detail after detail as if he was back in the hedge rows. He carried a 30 caliber machine gun and had drawn pictures of it throughout his writings. I'm searching for anyone that might have known, or had mentioned to them at one time or another, SGT Joseph N Toma who served in the 29th Infantry F company. He was from NY and was part of the Normandy Invasion in June 1944. he passed away at the age of 55 do to a bullet that shifted in his back that could not be removed when he was discharged. I'll always remember the stories he relayed to me and the times at home he would turn and respond with a "YEAH" thinking he heard someone calling for him. God Bless him and all those who served and gave their lives for this country and all of us who have no idea the real cost of Freedom. We can only imagine...... |

| 08/23/2010 - 14:34 - England | Your email address has been given to me from the Cornish Studies Library. I would love to find any information of American Troops who were stationed at Screason Fort, Antony, Cornwall during the WW2. The Cornish Library have suggested the 29th Infantry. I was about 8 years old, living in a bungalow just outside the fort, when they moved into the fort We children were often invited into the Ensa concerts and given rides in the jeeps. When the advance troop arrived we,as children being inquisitive, went to see them and I was given a toy Kangaroo with a Joey in the pouch, which I have to this day. It may be too late to try to contact any surviving men but would like to try. Therefore , if you can help in any way, I would be grateful. Yours hopefully Mrs Nancy Allwork (nee Laythorn) |
| 08/15/2010 - 15:37 - Netherlands | Hello All, My daughter Lena and I, Stan Derkx, adopt the name on The Wall of the Missing of Pvt. Edward A Labuz , asn. 42108294, on the American Cemetry in Margraten, the Netherlands, Europe. I joined pictures on this mail. On this Cemetry are burried 8301 US-soldiers and 1700 Us soldiers on the Wall of the Missing. Sinds the early begin of the Cemetry, 1945, the local people adopt all the Soldiers graves to honour their sacrifice for our freedom. At least tree times a year we visite the Grave and Wall to lay flowers on the grave or wall. Ofcourse at Memorial Day, Christmas , Day of Death , and Day of Birth if known. It's our way to honour all those fallen Us-soldiers who gave their lives and soules for our Freedom. May be somebody knowes a way to get me in contact with his living relatives, so i can let them know that his Name on the Wall of the Missing is taken care of over seas in Europe. Edward A Labuz was in the 116th Infantry. 29th. Division. His day of death: November 23, 1944. His awards: Bronze Star and Purple Heart His year of birth: 1919 Home: Oneida, New York. can somebody help me?? our regards, |
| 08/11/2010 - 06:08 - USA | To whom it may concern, I am on a very long overdue journey in working through the loss of my Dad. He had served in the 29th. Division. His name was Francis Dwyer. I am trying to find a route to discover where his service took him. I am hoping for some resource, someone who can help guide me through what truly seems insurmountable. Any help would be so very much appreciated. Neil Dwyer |

| 06/30/2010 - USA | My father in law was a SSgt. and a squad leader in co." M" 116 Inf. 29 Div. when they went ashore at Omaha beach June 6, 1944 his name was Bruce Heisley from Philly. He made it off the beach but was wounded June 18 the first time and returned to duty only to be wounded again on Nov.24, 1944 which sent him home a disabled vet and was released July 20, 1945 from Ashford general hospital in W. Va. Does anybody remember where and how he received the wounds or anything else? I have his separation paper which state nothing about Purple Hearts only mention a Unit Citation GO#26 Hq FUSA 44, Good Conduct Medal, Expert Infantryman Badge and Combat Infantryman Badge with 3 bronze service stars surly not a complete list at all. I am trying to procure all awards due him in this epic amphibious assault and battles that followed. My hat is off to all of you that made that landing and gave so much to our country in the darkest of times in the BIG ONE. THANK YOU.

| 06/28/2010 - USA | My father, PFC Doyle T. Moore was a combat medic attached to the 29th Infantry. He went ashore on D-Day, 6 June 1944 at Omaha Beach. He made it all the way to Metz, France before being wounded in November '44. He participated in the Normandy, Northern France, and Rhineland Campaigns. He received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. He did not like to talk about the war. He passed away 27 May 2010 at the age of 90. We have not yet got through all of his things, but we have learned a lot about his service and how proud he was to have served. We are proud of him and all of our service men who have been willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free. I am still trying to identify the medical unit he was with. Anyone who had a relative that may have known him, I would appreciate any information. I am happy to have found this website. Gary Moore |

| 06/06/2010 - USA | My Dad Andrew J. Quinn was a Private in the Medical Corp of the 29th. He was captured in St. Lo, in July of '44. He spent the balance of the war in various prison camps final he was in the Russian sector on V-E day and was held by the Russians on many pretexts so he and a# of other Americans escaped the camp and walked to the American lines. Among those soldiers was a fellow named Danny Fink.from Pa. My ad and he became fast friends and I wonder what ever happened to him. My Dad died at 85 in 1985, Ann (Quinn) Corker. |
| 06/06/2010 - USA | My father was Louis Britt, 29th Infantry Division. I am searching for any survivors who served with him during the Omaha Beach landing. He had four brothers who also served in different areas of the war. My father passed away in 1972. He would talk about D-Day but talked more about the solders he left behind. I would like to learn more from anyone who served with him. Thank you all for your service. Louis Britt Jr |
