Default Re: Finding Unit Histories

He and about 90 others (NG USA) signed up at Camp Tyson; Paris, Tennessee for the National Guard and assigned to Field Artillery. They went to South Carolina from there. I found in one Order of Battle where they were attatched to the 60th or 66th - (Can't remember - papers are at work) in 1945 - May-April. The day after Roosevelt died he suffered from "shell shock" and I have the papers that say he went to the 66th Div. Clearing Hospital - then to three to four other hospitals before landing in the U.S. and from there sent to a Convelasent Hospital. His papers did not mention Central Europe. I sent his pins and stuff to a man that took one look at him and said for me to NEVER ask him about the war. He said that the pins and the little stars that went with them showed several major battles. He listed all of that on a paper for me and I gave it to my Mom. She can not locate the paper now that had the pins attatched to it. When he died in 1999, they found the pictures of the Concentration Camp...no one had ever seen them before.
