Hey all,
I am trying to find out as much information as possible about the 294th, and especially about Company A. A friend of mine's grandfather served with this unit, and asked if I could try and find as much information as possible about the man and the company he was in. The most I know is that the man was from Brooklyn, NY, and was aboard the USS Susan B Anthony, which struck a mine and caused him to miss the initial D-day landings. He was present for D-day +1, but beyond this, I am not too sure. I also know that he had both a German and a Japanese bayonet, but I imagine he might have come into the latter through trading with a buddy.
Anything you guys can give me on Company A would be tremendously appreciated, and I just want to say thanks in advance, and I hope to hear from you guys soon!
