Hi,

 

I have seen on your site that you have told some people to contact Leroy Sten for info about the 148th.

 

Leroy passed away in Oct. He was my dad's Sgt. during the war.

  Name that pin! RAF

A friend has this posted on the WBG forum. We are trying to help him determine EXACTLY what it is. One good guess is that is was a "sweetheart pin. Anyone know for sure?

END OF TIME

 

Four years ago to-day December 30, 2001—at 5 P.M. I went to our bed-room and said “ Honey supper is ready†, she did not move. I called our daughter Toni Ann that MOM will not answer me. She called our other daughter Terry .—57 years and our Lord took my love home—I think of her every day , you see she was my love. Some day I will see her again but it is hard.

 

Art (Micky called me “ROYâ€, that’s my middle name, Le Roy, )

Her famous words were “Roy you are going to make your-self sickâ€

  The history of duct tape
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 12-29-2005, 09:32 PM - Forum: ANYTHING WWII - No Replies

Now a workshop mainstay, the tape was first used by WWII soldiers, who wrapped it around ammunition cases to keep their bullets from getting wet. :pdt34:

  Aubrey Festus Hughes - 540th CE
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 12-28-2005, 01:06 PM - Forum: WWII ENGINEERS - No Replies


Found this on the internet a few weeks back and wrote to the webmaster but haven't heard anything yet. So today I placed a link to his genealogy page and the reference to Aubrey Festus Hughes - 540th Combat Engineer.

The above reference was placed on the site a few months ago. Today I saw this on the Internet regarding the same man.
