I wanted reach out as he was in the 349th Infantry Regiment of the 88th Infantry Division, in the 1st or 3rd Battalion and as of December 6, 1944 was in the K Co.
I just found a reference to a soldier that had died who I assume was a friend or at the very least a brother in combat. His name was Jones Girard and died on May 14, 1944 near Santa Marie Infante in Italy. I checked the website and could not locate a cemetery near that location that I did locate one other soldier that my father mentioned, Sgt. Gerard Kirchgessner who lies at the Sicily-Rome Cemetery. Can you post this as I would like to reach out to his family and at least offer my condolascences and send them the diary notation. Thanks and please, if there are any diaries from soldiers in this group, I would love to look out. I have been able to use other sources to locate where my Dad was at very specific times from 1944-45.
