Comments: Hello, in May 2004 i adopted the grave of PFC William H. Brown who is burried at Margraten cemetery in the Netherlands. He was a soldier in the 309 INF 78 DIV and was killed at January 12, 1945. I would like to get in touch with relatives or people who knew him. It is difficult to search for information from abroad and i hope that maybe somebody has some information for me.
Comments: I recently came across a bunch of photographs that my grandfather (Donald A Johnson, Sr.) took while he was in Berlin in 1945/1946. According to the photos he was in the 309th infantry, 78th Division, 3rd Battalion, Co. K, 3rd Platoon. From what I can tell he was a Private. I have been unable to find any other documentation of when he was enlisted/drafted. This is all greek to me and wondering if anyone has any information? My grandfather is in many of the photos so I know he was there and served (he's in uniform). There were never any stories passed down. I don't know if he saw action or arrived afterwards. Thanks!

Comments: My Dad served in Co. A, 1st Bn, 309th Inf, 78 Div, during WWII. He was injured 1/10/45 in Germany. Heartbreakingly, he died in 1981 of cancer. I have my Dad's collection of medals, shell fragment that injured him, objects he collected, and an amazing wide angle picture of his entire Company (prior to deployment to Europe). On the picture Dad annotated who had been killed, wounded, transferred, etc. I don't know the date up to which he annotated the photo. If you or someone you know may be in that picture, please let me know and I can check.

Comments: My Uncle SGT. John Patrick Malloy served in the 309th, 78th, Company B during WWII. He was KIA 3 March 1945. He died in a field hospital in Germany from wounds sustained in combat. He was returned to the States for burial in 1947, he was on the first transport ship of repatriated servicemen in 1947 that came home. Was hoping someone might have information about him while in the hospital, we think he was there for a few days before he died? Also does anyone have any information of the temporary cemeteries in Germany at that time? Thanks!

Comments: You guys are doing a super job preserving the history of the 78th Infantry Division in WWII. I served as a 1st Lt. /Platoon Leader with the 78th Division's 920th Transportation Company (Medium Truck Petroleum) from 1988 to 1992 including service overseas during the Persian Gulf War (90-91). The 920th put forth a full effort in the Gulf War just as their predecessors had done in WWII. I was very proud to be a part of that unit and to wear the lightning patch. The unit performed tactical refueling convoy missions in support of the maneuver divisions of the U.S. VIIth Corps and played an important support role in General "Stormin Norman Schwartzkopf's famous "Hail Mary" maneuver through Iraq and into Kuwait. The units we were supporting were taking the fight to several Republic Guard heavy divisions. I remember everyone in our unit doing their part, from the drivers to the cooks to the mechanics and clerks. They were a great bunch of soldiers and part of a long tradition of the 78th. Everyone pitched in, dealt with the hardships of scud attacks, austere desert living conditions and got the job done, just as their 78th predecessors had done in WWII. Thanks for keeping that 78th tradition alive through your historical re-enactments and living history. Well done! Major Doug Edwards, USAR (Ret.) P.S. Best regards to Sgt. Calderon. I read his posting on your site. He was a great NCO during the Gulf War!

Comments: My father graduated from OCS and became a member of 309th Inf of the 78th Division. He served as a Lt. at Camp Buckner NC where he and my mother were married at the post chapel. He shipped overseas with the division and at some point became the company commander of "L" company I believe? I have many pictures and company rosters, etc.... as well as old newspaper clippings involving actions of the division. I would like to donate these items to an appropriate 78th division historian. Can anybody assist me with this endeavor? I know my father in later years made it a point to attend division reunions but I am not sure if these still occur? Please advise...

Comments: I am looking for information of my father's service with the 78th, 311th Regiment. He was a BAR man. From stories he was active near Aachen, and the Remagen Bridge.

Comments: I am the grandaughter of George William Stockman, Jr. (Bill) I first want to say how PROUD I am of ALL the men who have fought for our country and still do, but I am also asking if anyone can help me with info trying to put a timeline together for the men of the 309th, company "G". I would really like to know where my papa was during his time in the war. I have some paper work and his medals, but i would love to be able to know where he was exactly, the names of the men who served with him and under him, and see if there is anyone who can tell me 1st account stories. My papa passed away in 1987 and i was never able to find anything out and there is no family to ask. His children know nothing because he never spoke of the war when he returned home. I am SOOOO PROUD of him and his sacrifice for his country. He went to serve the 309th on Jan.30th 1945-May19,1946 (the end) he was enlisted prior to that date but saw combat on the 30 of Jan. If anyone can help PLEASE contact me...It's SOOOO Important to preserve our national and family history for my children. Thanks, Denise
Comments: Hi There, My name is Roel Timmermans. I am 27 years old and live in Kronenberg in the Netherlands. Ever since I was 12 years old my grandfather took me to see the wite crosses. .. Those white crosses marked the graves of fallen american soldiers who died in the liberation of the Netherlands during world war II. When I grew older we found out that there was a possibility to adopt a grave. We had to make sure to bring flowers every memorial day and every christmas. My grandfather adopted a cross bearing the name Joseph B Wadman. His cross says he was a: S SGT 309 inf 78 div being from Maine. This lets me believe he must have been a senior sergeant in the 309 infantry of the 78th division. I adopted a name on the wall of missing soldiers. That is Joseph J Tomasello T SGT 96 Bomb GP. We went there every year on memorial day and a few days before Christmas to bring them flowers. This last Christmas has been the first Christmas I had to pay my respects without my grandfather. He died in september this year. This feeds my wish to know more about te names belonging to our adopted graves. I am hoping that someone reading this post will be able to help me out finding relatives of this Joseph B Wadman. I would feel much better in letting them know that, even years after his passing, Mister Wadman still changed the lives of a younger generation in the Netherlands. I'm looking forward to find out if someone can offer any help in my search for the relatives of Joseph B Wadman. Kind Regards Roel Timmermans

Comments: I joined Co. B 3l0th Infantry, 78th Division in March, 1943. Took basic training with a great bunch of young men. After several months, lst Sgt Augustus Lamborghini came and asked me to go see Cpl. Hensley in Personnel Section. I'm thinking what the hell did I do now. Anyhow Hensley told me he was transferring to Air Force and needed a replacement for himself. I had clerical experience in civilian life as a bookkeeper, etc. Anyhow I took the job and the best thing I could have done in my life. Got several, promotions, finally to Sergeant Major of Personnel Section in l945, and ran the section. I went through the war, sadly losing many good friends that I came in Army with, many of them wounded but too many of them killed. The bravest young men you could have ever known. I still remember them in my prayers. A great Division and am proud to have served with them. Best Regards.
Comments: Hello, My Uncle Bruce R. Rogers, served in the 78th Infantry Division 309 Reg and was KIA on March 4, 1945 near Enzen, Germany. Of course, I never knew him as I was born several years later. But I remember my grandmother letting me look at the Purple Heart (or some kind of service medal?) that she had received, and also the military US honor flag that covered his coffin when he was shipped in that coffin back home in 1947. He had been buried in the Henri-Chapelle cemetery and later moved to his final resting place in Arkansas. I have photos of that grave site, and thankfully that is where I was able to find out his company of service. It was well thought out in that regards. Thank you Grandpa Rogers! I am in the process of trying to pull together any facts regarding his service, his death, the place that his death happened, anything would be more that I have now. I am trying to preserve his memory and have it for future generations or else his life and memory may be lost, as he never married, never had children. I don't want his memory to be gone forever, you know? Thanks! regards and respectfully, jimmie anna hays
Comments: My father was Cpl. Wilson Patrick Walsh from Tupper Lake, NY. He served with the chemical warfare unit attached to the 309th Infantry, 78th Division in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. He rarely spoke of his wartime experiences. He died in May 1981. I salute him and all of the men and women who proudly served the United States of America.
