Hoi Ben,
ik heet Hans Schaakxs en ben namens de HKV "De Bongard" op zoek naar verhalen over de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de bevrijding.
Verhalen uit Zuid-Limburg en/of Simpelveld, Bocholtz.
Dit voor een boek dat wij willen uitgeven ter gelegenheid van 80 jaar bevrijd, volgend jaar.
Kun je ons helpen?
Groeten,
Heemkundevereniging "De Bongard"
Alvast bedankt

My father TEC 5 Rufus P Detiveaux was in CO A 648th TD BN and I'm doing research into his military service. My goal is to document as much information I can find for current and future descendants so his service to our country will not be forgotten. -Timothy J Detiveaux USA

Goedenavond Ben, ik zal graag met u in contact treden. Het is over Sgt. Paul Joseph Hirner born 1.1.1916 die op 28.02.1945 in Gustorf om 22.15 uur door de Duitse artillerie gesneuveld is. Ik self kom uit Duitsland en werk in Gustorf. Jaren geleden heb ik een Amerikaanse Helm van iemand gekregen, die deze op 30.04.1972 in de Bend in de woud tussen Gustorf en Laach bij het meiboom slagen toen gevonden had met schade van een Artilleriesplinter van boven in. Omdat hij de enigste was die daar gesneuveld is, is de kans natuurlijk groot dat deze helm van Sgt. Hirner was. Hoe heb jij uitgevonden, dat hij in Gustorf gesneuveld is? Ben jij al met de familie in Binghampton NY oit in contact getreden voor een Foto van hem? Of heb jij misschien nog meer informatie over hem? Want ik probeer nu zoveel informatie bij te halen om het bij zijn vermoedelijk helm erbij te hebben. Sorry voor mijn Nederlands 😉Groetjes André

Hi, My Grandfather was part of this battalion. His name was Leonard Maruchello (sometimes spelled Marchello). He was from Connecticut. I do not know many specifics about his position. I know he was awarded the bronze star medal. He did not die in the war. I think he may be in some of the pictures you have posted but I need to confirm with other family members.

Dag Ben,
Ik zie op de website een foto van mijn moeder staan op het Laurentiusplein. Samen met Wiel Hermans en Leni Wesley, en anderen. (staat in het stukje over Leon Wesley). Heb je die foto ook in het echt en kan ik daar een goeie kopie van laten maken of heb je hem digitaal?
Wat een mooie site overigens. Zeer uitgebreid hoor! Top gedaan. Groet!

Hi Ben; I just ran across your site while researching Maj. Gen. Maurice Rose. I write bi-weekly blogs and the general will be the subject of one of the August 2021 blogs. I appreciate you allowing the images to be used and I will follow your instructions. You can visit us at www.stewross.com. I will be publishing my fifth book on Paris history shortly. It deals with the German occupation of Paris. Hope you enjoy it. STEW

My name is Carol Dykstra von Glan. My father was Joel Dykstra whose story is on this website. I found it quite by accident. My cousin, Janna Dykstra Smith, did the story on my dad's war history. He didn't talk about his war stories until later in life and then did do " talks "to several organizations. He made the toys that are in the article. He lost his right hand in a corn picker accident in 1965, so making these toys were a challenge fr him. He did have a hook which he became very adapt to difficult situations. He farmed and milked cows even after he lost his arm, plus the wound in his left ankle still affected his life. He died in 2006 at the age of 85.

My Great Uncle was Howard L. Bell. KIA on 11/7/1944. He was a mechanic. He did receive the Bronze Star for his actions from D-day to his death. I was fortunate to visit his grave site at Henri-Chapelle in Belgium. Unfortunately, he did not have children so I have adopted him. I have a copy of a letter from a Frenchman who met Howard when his tank stalled close to his home. He considered Howard a great friend and celebrated with his comrades for their liberation. Thank you for your website.

we hope you will link our site too, but this is no must.
You did a great job on your site
best regards

During the pandemic I've been unpacking old family items long in storage and have uncovered many items related to my uncle Robert C. Jarvis's service with the 743rd Company B. Is there a way to post photographs?

My Uncle, Gilchrist C. Booth, was a replacement gunner with Baker Company of the 743rd Tank Battalion. He received the Silver Star for his actions during the Battle of the Rhineland in a small town in Belgium. He was nominated by his Company Commander, Captain Ubbes, in saving the life of a tank commander after they were hit with an artillery shell just before dawn.
I am also involved with an organization, "Stories Behind The Stars" which researches the Fallen Soldiers of WWII and publishes their stories so they are not forgotten. My Uncle's story can be seen here: https://www.fold3.com/page/653606274-gilchrist-c-booth/stories
Thank you for providing this valuable service.
