It includes pictures of many of the 66ers in a yearbook type format. http://www.lma66.com/ this is the old 66th.org site

I saw a division or regimental yearbook on the internet a while back and was not able to track it down again this time. I think it had him listed as being in the 263rd. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My gradfather, also named Michael Kerr was in the 66th division 266th combat engineers. He was from Philadelphia. He never really talked about the war at all, I heard he was on an LST on the way over the English Channel when the Leopoldville was sunk. Also, he apparently was involved with removing booby traps from submarine bases in France. He was from Philadelphia pa. Thanks for any info.Mike

My father died in 1975 when i was 12yrs old and like many other fathers and grandfathers he would not talk about the war. I retired in 2002 after 21 years in the US ARMY. My children all know my history but we do not know his. He left the US 18 Nov 1944 and arrived in country 26 Nov 1944. I would like any information on how to maybe get or even just see some of the company books that other folks have talked about. I am afraid that i am too late asking for information as this great generation is all but gone.

I have very often helped break the language barrier, and particularly for Veterans of the 94th and 66th USID's when they came back over for a Memorial Tour. I was very thrilled at reading your father's letter, and I should like your permission to translate and forward it to the officials of QUIBERON and ETEL, since they will be celebrating V Day on May 7th and 8th. I will probably take part also, as an Interpreter in the ceremonies at LORIENT. I belong to this generation who never forgot, know what they owe you and your country, and have always been trying to repay a little for what we got! Thanks and All the best! Pierre

He was originally in Co E, 262 Reg, 66th Division statside (from April 1943-June 44) For some reason, he was posted to Europe earlier than his whole unit, and entered Normandy during July 1944, then was placed with Patton's 5th Division. He was KIA in the battle of Metz, Nov 10, 1944 after crossing France. Would like to have info about why some men went over earlier than others. Am also seeking any photos (E Co) in basic training. My uncle wore glasses-so is easy to identify. If there is a private with glasses in any of yourtraining or unit photos, please get in touch with me. Also, would love information on a Sgt. Lloyd House, and Oscar Mach. Lloyd had a son, Douglas Alan, named after my uncle, born July 1, 1944. Would love to locate him-have some info for him.

Now 30 years later I am trying to reconstruct the experience including the area of the town,the short walk (through a pedestrian tunnel) to the bistro which was at the edge of the train tracks. The part of town we were in had one or more mills or foundries.In short it was an industrial complex-not a vactioners delight. Obviously I'd also hope that someone can shed some light on the bistro itself.My information indicates the town was close to a military base- which may be some help. Thanks in advance for your help.

His grandson who he never new, Jonathan Leland Wilson Rhodes was awarded his Eagle Scout rank on Dec. 14 and was critically injured the next nite in a car accident coming home from a church youth meeting. I was writing to try and find a current address for the 66th association to see if they could have a certificate made up for Jonathan. His Eagle Scout Project was to design a new entrance for our Veterans Memorial, move the flag pole, landscape and put in a cement pad that was to house a Cobra Attack Helicopter that was dedicated to the local chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association on Oct. 2, 2004. Our local zoning officer for the town said that the cement pad was illegal and that the veterans memorial was also illegal. Must be he is from another planet... Thanks. Gary L Rhodes
