Request for 251st
#3

Many thanks. Let's see what we hear.

 

Received this from the Office of History this morning:

 

Hi Marion,

 

Our finding aid for unit histories says there are records of the 251st in the

National Archives. We have an oral history transcript of BG William M.

Glasgow who served in the battalion but apparently after the death of Pfc.

Rose. Otherwise we have only the information from Stanton's Order of Battle

book:

 

Unit activated 23 July 1943 at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin; left the New York Port

of Embarkation 27 August 1944; arrived in England 7 September 1944; arrived

in France 29 September 1944; participated in the Central Europe and Rhineland

campaigns; at Schnde, Germany, at war's end (August 1945); arrived at the New

York Port of Embarkation 18 January 1946; inactivated 19 January 1946, Camp

Kilmer, New Jersey.

 

I'm sorry I couldn't come up with more.

 

Mike

 

Professor Dave from the School of History at Fort Leonard Wood is also looking into info. Said would get back with us by early next week. Cool!

 

Many thanks to all.
