I believe he was in HQ company, but am not completely sure of that. I know time is moving on for our vets, but if anyone has any information on my uncle our family would greatly appreciate it!

His name is listed on this blog - Ernest A. Filippetti. I just visited his gravesite yesterday, as I do every Memorial Day. Although he passed 39 years before my birth, I feel a strong connection to him. Wondering if your grandfather-in-law knew him? My email is jrorr616@yahoo.com.

He served with the division from April 1944 until he was wounded on December 2, 1944 in Sevenig, Germany while attempting to charge across an open field in direct line of fire of three pillboxes. Thank God my father is still with us at over 97 years of age!

His service number, beginning '36' indicates he was drafted from the area of 6th Corps (Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin). I would like to return these artifacts to PFC Burkhardt's, next of kin. Can you assist? I know online sites exist that by inputting the service number the location of where he entered service might get me closer to finding his next of kin-but I do not have that site ID. I have the service number.<br />Don.........Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796638192886957148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981496384520976605.post-54015202613341712462013-01-15T08:29:03.181-05:002013-01-15T08:29:03.181-05:00Those letters must be fascinating, Greg.

In even the most detailed histories only a handful of soldiers are actually mentioned by name, but you can still learn a lot about what your Dad's unit went through from day to day. You might want to peruse the reading list on this website.Bob Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400471363764020869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981496384520976605.post-36701523203921684422013-01-14T15:42:20.928-05:002013-01-14T15:42:20.928-05:00My father was 1st Lt.

I have recently uncovered a number of letters he wrote my mother during the 28th Division campaign in the 4th quarter of 1944. He was wounded at 3:00 a.m. on November 9, 1944. His story is not documented that I know of. According to my mother, he was one of three men who made it back to American lines after being behind enemy lines from about November 3-4 to Nov 9. This was after the German counterattack on Schmidt. He and the two others apparently left a number of other men to get help. I'm happy to discuss more of what I know and to discuss the letters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824665498753455094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981496384520976605.post-79060888425603961272012-12-01T05:10:11.949-05:002012-12-01T05:10:11.949-05:00This is very interesting reading, I’m working on a...This is very interesting reading, I’m working on a family tree.

I'm afraid I don't know anyone else from the 112th, although over the years I have been in contact with a few, here and there. Most of the informtion I have here was gathered from history books and published personbal accounts of the action, and from my father-in-law's company history. As you can imagine, most of these men passed on by now, but I'm very gratified that a veteran like your wife's grandfather has gotten something out of this.

He didn't recognize Bud's name but in your chronology, he was identifying where he was at the those times and knows some of the people mentioned in your posts. Anyways we were just trying to get in contact with you to see what you know of the 112th or if you know anyone still living etc...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086332446581236231noreply@blogger.com
