Armed forces (Yes/No): No Historian (Yes/No): No Re-enactor (Yes/No): No | Comments: Just found the web site and immediately called my father, Cecil Garrison (Swiz) who was in the 29th's 104th Medical - Clearing Company. Dad went over to England in 42' and eventually met my mother who was in the ATS at the time. They were married in Tot es, Devon, near Slapton Sands prior to dad going over on June 6th. Dad tells me that he came off a "Rhino" onto the beach and hastily made his way to the Company CP set up just off the beach (there's a picture of it in the book "29 Lets Go" that Dad has. Dad's told me a few humerous stories about the war but says that he remembers little about the beach itself. At home we still have some momentos of that time -Dad still has his Eisenhower jacket and liberation money - and the letter that was handed to he troops on their way over written by Ike telling them that they were about to embark on a great crusade. We are both members of the 29th Division Association. Last summer I took my family over to England and France and we toured Normandy and saw the M jor Howey memorial in St. Lo and the beaches. I'd be interested in hearing from other sons or daughters of 29'rs so please feel free to contac me at my E-mail address. Thanks to the UK 29HI for this web page. Peace. |

Purdy, served with "C" Company of the 175th Regiment from their landing in Normandy until being wounded at St Lo. While he did not like to talk a lot about it, I do remember many things he did tell me. I only recently learned his unit info, from his discharge papers, and with that info, a friend looked up and sent me copies of daily reports obtained from the National Archives, and some of the things I remember were in the reports! I am interested in learning as much as I can about the unit's activities, and if possible, more about my father's activities. (He died in 1975.) I remember him saying he was in combat for 27 days, but have been unable to locate his name on a casualty list. He had been drafted, from New Castle, PA, which is also my home town. I'm aware that this is not a locator service, but if any of this is familiar to anyone, I'd like to hear from you. (I was also drafted from New Castle, and served in Vietnam with the 101 AB and also with the 196th Lt Inf Br...I do hav a deep appreciation of the difference between those two wars). |

Craig Singhaus - 01/10/99 02:05:14 My Email:www.singhaus@wans.net Veteran (Yes/No): no Age: 43 Armed forces (Yes/No): no Historian (Yes/No): no Re-enactor (Yes/No): no | Comments: I am a producer at Maryland Public Television. I am currently looking to produce a documentary on the history of the 29th Infantry Division. We are looking for corporate undrewriting for this project. The Maryland National Guard has been most helpful in allowing acess to their archives. My father and two uncles served over seas during World War II athough not in the 29th. As a native of Maryland, the 29th has always been a special part of my family and community. My mothers cousin, Stephen Lee Starkey was killed outside of Saint Lo in J ly 1994. I lived next door to a man who as a member of the 115th Infantry Reg. landed on Omaha beach on D-Day. I did not find this out until after his death in 1995. There is still a large cadre of Twentyniners in the Maryland and Virginia Area. My goal is to preserve for future generations the story of their sacrifice. It is the least that we who enjoy so much can do honor those who give so much. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to comment as any or all advice is appreciated |
