Info - Charles U Culmer
#1

Hello everyone, my friend has found a dog-tag. This should be an officer. I could not find any information of any kind, can anyone help me?

 

Thank you all and as always compliments for everything you do!

 

Charles U Culmer

O-382536

The dog tag is 2 lines

 

 

Thanks

Enry

Yes, according the the serial number, he was a commissioned officer.

 

Right now after a brief search, I've come up with this, but cannot find a match to the serial number. Mind you, I just began, but have dinner going, so let me do a more thorough search tomorrow.

 

This could be him?!

 

Major Charles U. Culmer, Base Surgeon, U.S. Medical Corps. Born July 3, 1911. Died April 19, 1993.

Thanks M1, i was just about to post the same info. That was all i could find on him too.

Me thinks we`ll have to nickname Enrico`s gang as the "Dump Digger Battalion" :pdt:

This story also has an interesting twist...

 

It appears his wife was the president of the Girl Scouts!

To Larry, it's a nice nickname :D although I'm not going to dig for a while longer. This is my friend who very often recover dog tags ...

 

To M1, thanks for the help, when I have a little time I control everything.

 

As always, thanks!

Wow all very interesting! I can not understand, though, as he could be near Pietramala during wwII, and write reports from Arctic bases... I had found this information on him and on his wife, but I had discarded it because it seemed impossible to me he could be in Italy and in the Arctic at the same time :D

 

No news from relatives?

Yes, I thought that odd too, but maybe we can solve the mystery and inconsistencies when we are contacted by one of his relatives.

 

No sorry, no answer yet. Maybe I will try another relative, since this one is a no-show so far.
