My grandfather Carl E. Auten served in the 90th Infantry Division. I do not know much about his experience in WWII and I am looking for anyone who remembers him who may have some stories about your experience together. My grandfather has passed on but I am trying to create a manuscript in his honor. I know he received a purple heart and has a lapel from his uniform that says "vigila et acta" Please contact me with any information you may have.

For historical research about Americans in France in 1944, I'm trying to find out which U.S. army unit or battalion was camped on the road between Pontmain and Louvigne du Desert (just south of St Hilaire du Harcouet) on August 16, 1944. The soldiers would also have passed through the village l'Epine, outside la Bazouge du Desert. The region is a part of Brittany near the large town of Fougeres. Thank you in advance for any information you might have!

My name is Chris Ludwig and I am a German citizen who lived in the city of Ingelheim (Germany) along the River Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate.
During the 2nd WW the 90th walked/passed through Ingelheim and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about this topic. I am researching the history of my home town during the 2nd WW and became aware of the 90th and their pass-through.
I understand that it is difficult to remember every city on the long trail. Just to give you an idea, Ingelheim is at the river Rhine, about 15 Miles west of the city of Mainz and 50 Miles west of Frankfurt. It is in the Rhine valley where the river makes it's distinct S curve and is approx. 250 Miles from the French border.
I really appreciate your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you guys.

...anyone with information or photos of my grandfather, PFC Barney C. Gibbs, who served in the 90th I.D. at Normandy. He was from a small town in North Central Texas and was in the second wave of soliders to land on the beach. He was wounded in a foxhole by mortar fire on June 7, 1944. He was taken from Normandy to a hospital in England to recover from nearly fatal wounds. He passed away nearly four years ago and just prior to his passing he finally told my father (his only child) his stories of the war. He had never discussed it prior to telling my father and wouldn't discuss it after that. I'd like to get as much information as possible regarding his training, buddies, injury, hospital information, etc. from anyone who is willing to share it. Thank you for your help! AND THANK YOU, VETERANS, FOR THE FREEDOMS WE ENJOY TODAY!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!

......info on the former US 52nd general hospital, Wolverley, England.
I am researching this former award winning hospital when it was located here in our village at Wolverley, Kidderminster, England. I am trying to locate American service men and women who passed through Wolverley during those days. I would like to record their personal memories in a book I am writing, and donating the proceeds to "The British Heart Foundation".
You may be interested in visiting my web site at www.wolverleycamp.org.uk
for more information. Also a young lady recently entered a competition for a "Young Reporter of the Year Award" on BBC TV, and walked off with the first prize after filming her report at the former site of the award winning 52nd general hospital.
I do hope you will be able to help me to record the few remaining stories of those fascinating events which took place in our village all those years ago.
I would also be interested in hearing from anyone from the nearby Camp Bewdley, 114th and 297th general hospitals.

My grandfather was in the 90th infantry, 359th regiment, 3rd battalion, I company 1st platoon. He passed away in January, 2003. He received the purple heart, bronze star, and two combat infantry badges. In his diary he speaks about January 29, 1945 of not taking their objective and being pinned down by the germans. He speaks about January 30, 1945 of sneaking into a town the back way and surprising the germans, taking the town but being pinned down by mortar fire even though they had taken some prisoners. He mentions taking Welchenhausen, and the next town, and crossing a river into the dragon's teeth of the Siegfried line. On January 31, 1945 he was injured by shrapnel from a mortar round that hit a brick wall they were behind. I don't know much more becuse he would never talk about it, and I have been going through his memorabilia. His name is Lloyd W. Musselman and he was from Logansport, Indiana. He also has the Presidential Unit
Citation, which I think the 90th received. His serial # 35904230. I'd like to know more about his bravery, and those he fought alongside if anyone has information. Thank you for this site.
