E-mail: coachmiller2028@yahoo.com 		I was going through letter's of my grandfather Byron Carroll tec 5, D-Battery 460th and came across a transfer to H.Q. 460th in March of 1945. His job was an Orderly or Aid to staff. If someone from H.Q. know's him, I would like to get in contact with you. Byron was the OLD GUY he was in his mid 30's at that time. I've been working on D-Battery photos, if people have some, I would really appreciate scanned copys (pdf,jpg) of them to add to the colletion. E-mail or call 916-412-7227

E-mail: moshe1652@aol.com 		Raymond E. Markley was my father. I was re-reading his WWII journals today and decided to see what i could find out about his unit, the 517th. I am proud that he is my father and proud that he fought with men as honorable as those of the 517th airborne.

In the photo of the 2 men standing in front of a car, which one is your father? The man on the right looks alot like my grandfather. They both were in A Company and both from Ohio.

Name: Chris Walters
From: Dallas, TX
E-mail: cwchrisw@hotmail.com 		My grandfather, Virgil Frances Dunleavy (sometimes misspelled Donleavy), was in the 517th PICT. He is listed in the 1944 Christmas roster as a Corporal. There is also a photo of him in the book Battling Buzzards. He is smoking a cigarette right before a jump. This is where his name is misspelled. There are also photos of him that Joseph Brody's son submitted.
Virgil passed away in 1970 at the young age of 50. I was 13 at the time. I do have his Purple Heart. I am looking for any information on him. I will be at the mini reunion in Florida in January. My mother, his daughter, will be with me.

Does anyone remember him. If so, I would appreciate
hearing about it.
