Marion, this is just total curiosity but I have read the foregoing posts and as always I like to look up in our 'bible' what the various organisations were doing in Europe. Why is it there is no mention of the 285th or the 1142nd there? In the index it goes from 284th to 286th and 1141st to 1145th.
Colin.
I haven't been on this forum for some time, but checked in this evening. My dad never mentioned 1142nd. What he did say was that the 285th was attached to XII Corps during the war.
I'm not sure whether this information helps or not, but I thought I would toss it out there.
I also have a book XXII Corps, Spearhead of Patton's Third Army

It's a treasured piece for me, now that my dad is gone.
