The 92nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop was an organic element of the US 92nd Infantry Division. As such, it operated as part of the 92nd ID, which spent its war in Italy. The 92nd Infantry Division was one of the army's historically black infantry divisions (the other being the 93rd ID). See the "related link" attached for a brief history. Many WWII divisions published a history after the war - usually something such as "History of the 92nd Infantry Division in WWII". I do not know if the 92nd ID did so, but, if they did, this would be by far the best source for more detailed information. I'd watch on eBay and see if one becomes available. There may also be a divisional "alumni association". Search Google for their website.

I don't know, however that regiment was part of the 86th Infantry Division. It was in combat in northern Europe. The Division nickname is "Blackhawk". The division website is www.86blackhawkdiv.org There is a picture of the Division's patch on that website. See that site, you may find what you are looking for. Also wikipedia has information about the division. I found a photo of this DUI pin posted on www.usmilitariaforum.com. The post said this was a rare DUI. It is a BLUE shield with a diagonal Bar and a Lion in upper Right and a mailed fist in lower Left. The banner contains the motto "WE SHALL NOT FAIL".

You may be referring to Co. G, 120th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division. If this is the case, I can provide you with information about each week that the 120th spent in the E.T.O., 1944-45. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com Thank you for responding. I believe this is what I am looking for. My Grandfather was with this unit(?) during WWII and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Was this unit part of D-Day? Were people from this unit held POW after the Battle? It is believed that he was held POW. He had slash/whip marks on his back when he came home and never spoke of his time overseas. Thanks again, Keely
You don't. Operation security guidelines indicate that information is not released to the general public.

Are you trying to locate the Person or find information on a Soldier? This is listed under WW2, so a good source for the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division is the history book, "History of The Third Infantry Division in WWII" by Donald G. Taggart. It was first published in 1940's but a reprint can be obtained from Battery Press in Nashiville, TN. In this book there are many names of soldiers who fought in WW2. The book is a large book and the roster is quite extensive. You should find his name in there.
The 142nd Infantry Division was a unit of the German Army during World War II. It was involved in various actions on the Eastern Front, including being encircled and destroyed during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943. The division was officially disbanded in 1943 after suffering heavy losses.
I can't find any reference to this unit currently being in existence. The 302nd Infantry Regiment was subordinate to the 94th Infantry Division (US Army Reserve), which has since been deactivated and reformed as the 94th Division (Force Sustainment).

Check with you local county Commission of Veterans Affairs. You just need to know the persons name and point of enlistment. Good Luck,
One can find more information about the Grenadier Guards on the organization's official website. Alternatively, one can also find such information on Wikipedia.
I have complete histories of both the 320th Infantry Regiment as well as the 35th Infantry Division. Please contact me with any questions that you may have. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com I'm sorry for the delay but I appreciate any information on Company A of the 35th Division, 1st Battalion, 320th Infantry. I have the booklets that were given to my grandfather right after WWII, about the histories of the 35th Division and one on the history of the 320th Infantry. What I am looking for is something with names in it. I would love to find like a list of survivors with my grandfathers name in it. Or any kind of war documentation that has his name, Pfc. Jessie Lee McKay, in it. He was drafted out of Fayette, Alabama and made a great life for himself after going thru the horror that WWII had to give. But where are his and all the other survivors stories? Where is it written what the survivors contributions were? Where are the survivors names written to be remembered?

AnswerI know a Kenneth J Bloss (from Michigan) that was in the army in WWII - he received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. He passed away on January 3rd 2010 in Port St. Lucie, FL. His obituary should be in the paper on Thursday.
