Not Long - here I am!
You won't believe it, and today I absolutely have to go do the things I was supposed to already have done - but one War project - non Siegburg - after another kept rolling in.
So... the news - I joke that the homeless cat answers my switchboard when I get busy - and ....yes, I heard from another Siegburg Alumni! Another Jackpot! He was in many Camps.
I am trying to put my notes together - and I have many more questions for him! It all takes time - but just when you think the well is dry.....
This gentleman got issued a POW dog tag! Has his number on it ....
Has to have been done at Siegburg - I am so sure.
Larry, when you did all of that incredible research on Dale J. Welsh, I passed it along to another POW from Dale's outfit that passed through Siegburg too. Fortunately he lived and went on to many Camps. While they did not know one another the wound and capture and dates were all connected. The POW numbers were only a couple apart!
I have my request in at the Archives on Dale, and maybe next week I can get there to see what they have on him and the other records I requested this time.
That news from your incredible research on Dale solved more Siegburg questions and the gentleman I spoke to was so pleased to have the information you provided.
Thank You Larry,
Jean
