Cool
Has anyone heard of a similar unit. Obviously it had to do with POWs, but does anybody know what they actually did??

Pvt. Abbott from Mississppi was with this unit and was killed in a non-hostile incident on April 25, 1945. He is buried in Margraten.

This is one of a few quite obscure units I have come across lately.

Same goes for the 500th Medical Collection Company. Anybody know what they did EXACTLY? I only found a on-line reference on the Indiana Historical Society website.

And for a last Q; What did a (US) Port Company do???

Thanks in advance all!

Stevin
