Default 180th Infantry Regiment After Action Reports

I have scanned as pdfs the After Action Reports of the 180th
Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, for January, February,
and May 1944, which essentially cover the beginning and end of the
Anzio Campaign for the regiment. They are scanned at 200 dpi.

I had copied the documents at the NARA last month.

If anyone desires copies, just let me know.

Dave - I'm researching my father who I believe was in the 180th Infantry. His name was Joe Kamelhar and was from NY City. He fought in Sicily, Anzio, France and Germany. He is no longer living and did not speak much about his experience as an infantryman.

Would you mind forwarding to me the After Action Reports you've scanned. I can be reached at jkamelhar at gmail.com

Many thanks
Jon

Hi Jon, welcome to the forum. I am sure Dave will be happy to send you the reports. Do also post up a new thread here about your father, it will get more exposure that way:

Information Requests - World War II Forums

Good luck!

Hi, Jon.

I now have all of the AARs from July 1943 (Sicily) through the end of the war. All are scanned as pdfs except Sicily's. I'll be glad to send them
to you.

Do you happen to know which Company he belonged to? I have virtually
all of the Regiment's General Orders as well (JPEGS), and that would help me find his CIB, for instance.


Dave

Hey Dave, you realise we can attach .pdf files here, up to just under 10mb a time...

Nudge nudge .
I like After Action reports.

I tried twice to upload the 7 megabyte pdf of the AAR of the 180th IR for September 1943.

Both times, the upload failed.

The best laid plans o' mice and men...
