Perhaps you can help me regarding
a WWII soldier that I believe may have been with the 101st airborne.
I have an original document
distributed on the eve of D-Day (June 1944) to the men of the troop transport
and airborne assault forces. It is a speech written by General Eisenhower.
My Dad was a navigator with the
438th TCG, 90th TCS based in Greenham Common (UK)
and I believe the paratroopers
they dropped in France on D-Day were from the 101st.
There is a hand written note on the
document that says "read by S/Sgt Kiel of White Falls,
Wisc." I am wondering if you have a records for a S/Sgt Keil
who served in the 101st from Wisconsin?
I tried looking for a White Falls,
WI and had no luck. I did find a community called "White
Hall" - so perhaps that was what was intended.
Thank you for any help with this
matter. I suppose there is a chance that S/SGT Kiel is still alive
although he'd be in his late 80's.
Regards,
Richard T. Walsh, Jr.
Middle Haddam, CT
Members I have responded to Richard - Please start a search for info on S/Sgt Kiel. I will start with Mark Kiel that lives in Watertown and also the University of Wisconsin in White Water. Richard Walsh can be reached at: rtwalsh@sbcglobal.net Romlein
