It would have been January of 45. It was their first assignment after arriving in France at the end of Dec 1944. You're correct that they were assigned to several armies or Corps throughtout the war. The guy that I spoke with said they even did a very brief stint with the Brittish Army. It is all a mystery. I had a laugh when I started doing this research. I am used to doing research on the US Civil War and have never had any problems finding info on any unit. What a suprise to me that it was easier finding info on things that happened 140 years than 60 years ago. Perhaps because the scope of the war was smaller and entire armies had reunions until 75 years after the war.

Erwin.... I know Europe is on a different time zone..... but Easter?
