Dear Marion,
Thank you for your informative website. I've started researching information from my Grandfather's service discharge record from WWII. I'm writing to see if you might be able to direct me to a source of information related to "Med Det 264th Engr © Bn"
Under Battles and Campaigns it states:
GO 33 & 40 WD 45 Rhineland Central Europe
I know the first part states General Orders 33 & 40, War Department 1945, and that he was in Rhineland and Central Europe (information on both is linked to your site). However, I have yet to identify 264th. Any suggestions on finding where the 264th was between Feb 1944 and Nov 1945?
Best,
Jason
Dear Jason:
I suggest using our Research tools and contacting various places such as the Army Corps of Engineer's Office of History, and NARA in Maryland, for starts. There are about a dozen or so links to help you in your quest.
