Looking for Members of the 106th Infantry Division

[kaben3]

Hello, back now after school is done for the semester! Thanks again for all of your input and assistance with the search of my grandfather service so far Somewhat big news, in between finishing up my class I had emailed my grandfathers discharge and separation paper to a few folks. I never picked up on, but his separation paper lists the MOS codes. The 3 codes listed are as follows - 4 months PVT Infantry Basic (521), 10 months PFC Rifleman (745), and 10 months TEC 5 Truck Driver, Light (345). The biggest key is it lists that he served with the 424th Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division, this is the only official paperwork I have been able to locate in his things that does. I went back to the local veterans rep who submitted this paperwork to possibly change his discharge paper to list his CIB, we'll see. So it is becoming clearer that he served initially with the 106th until they went back to the states, and since he didn't have enough points, was then reassigned to what is listed on his discharge papers in the 16th Engineer Combat Bn, Company C. I have also just recently located a member of the 106th/424th who was in a different company, but has been very insightful as to what the regiment was involved in, did, and witnessed. It has been great speaking with him and the chance to ask questions. As always any input to what I have just listed is always appreciated Thanks again for all of your patience and assistance so far
