My grandfather was in WWII, 4th Infantry Division from 1943-1945 he was discharged from Camp Butner in October 1945. I would like to get some information on how he was wounded or any other military service information. Unfortunately his records were burned in the National Archives fire in the 1970’s so not much is known about his service or awards.

Thank you so much for your beautifully organized and extensive database & website, an author's dream. Recently I began working with my Grandmother's Lifetime Letter Archive. This includes WW2 Letters from at least 10 men in her family group who served in many different capacities around the world. Her brother, cousins and brother-in-laws. Today, I'm turning their letters into books to better preserve their imprints on our human history. One of her cousins, Corporal Francis "FH" Jones ASN 33617607 served in the 5th Field Hospital in Papua-New Guinea then in Luzon, Philippines. Your website helped me confirm exact locations, as he had to remain vague to pass the Army's censorship. I have 5 of his amusing letters describing the primitive living conditions with wonderful color about his interactions with the local people. I will try to upload the transcriptions and images of his original letters, as I see the 5th hospital Unit History you are still working to develop.

Hi US MRC,
Id like to congratulate you on a first class website on the US Medical Services. I am currently researching the 65th General Hospital at Redgrave Park, Suffolk, England as part of a wider look at USAAF medical treatment of casualties within the air war, and I can honestly say your sight has provided me with a huge insight to the organisation during the war.

However I notice that you are short of information on the 65th General Hospital (plant 4209) and if possible id like to possibly offer some help with information as I may have some knowledge which you have not seen yet.

If your interested please contact me on the email address above.

Stuart.

This is a great site. I'm the family genealogist and have been researching my Uncle Louis Dean Harrison. He was killed in action July 9, 1944 during the Italian Campaign. He wasn't brought home to the United States until June 1949 and I always wondered why it took so long. I downloaded the pamphlet: "Disposition of World War II Armed Forces Dead" and read through it and explained a lot about the procedure.

Hello, and I'm very glad to find this website. Years have passed since I volunteered at Planned Parenthood in Austin, Texas, with Dr. Blair Protzman, Dr. Stewart Protzman's son. Yes, time has gone by. I have read Dr. Protzman's journal he kept throughout the war in the Mediterranean and the Pacific. I showed this website to my grown son, and he is very interested. Thank you for organizing, making it all available to all of us, lest we forget. Respectfully yours, Susan Wroe Perry

Thank you very much for compiling this website. My husband's grandmother volunteered with the American Red Cross at 74th General Hospital in Somerset (Worker's Pass No A9346), so it was great to find out more about it.

My uncle was wounded in action August 27,1944 and died in an Evac hospital or a field hospital his name was Pfc Willie Shields. He was fighting in Brest, France at the time. I would like to know what kind of wounds he died from.

My father was Cpl. Earlon E Waters , a tank gunner in Company A, 717th Tank Battalion, attached to the 79th Infantry Division , 9th Army.
He was wounded April 12th 1945 around Bottorp, Germany and taken to the 41st Evacuation Hospital in the Dorsten area. He was treated there and then flown by C 47 to Nancy France and the 240th General Hospital.
Thank goodness they were able to save him or I wouldn't be here now.
Thank you !

This is a wonderful website--I am thankful I stumbled onto it. I am a university professor teaching a course about WWII. The "final exam" is that each student must, first, locate testimonials/recollections of at least three wartime Americans who participated in the war era in the same way (e.g., three U.S. Marine infantrymen, three Army chaplains, three defense industry workers, three conscientious objectors, whatever identity/role they are interested in). Next, they generate an "autobiography" that mashes up congruent information in the biosketches they found. Then they must design a costume to go with that persona; and finally, prepare and deliver to the class a 6- or 7-min. oral self-introduction. I do the exercise myself; last time I taught the course I was a German POW in a U.S.A. POW camp, basing my story on the memoirs of three such fellows. The info on your website is useful, valuable, and (especially notable) well-organized & easy to access and digest. Thanks for all your great work on this!

My dad, Kenneth Erb, served in the 21st Evac Hospital in WWII.

I enjoyed seeing the names of the places I'd heard before listed here, "6 Dec 43 Guadalcanal – 15 Feb 44 Bougainville – 11 Jan 45 Luzon."
