I'm trying to find out about a great uncle of my mine who died in the battle of the bugle. My family won't give me any info him. I was told once that he was in the 101st and another person mentioned he was a radio operater. Does anyone know if there is a site or a way where I could search to find his unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I finally found out about my great uncle. My family was wrong when they said it was the 101st.

Milan Babich
Private U.S. Army

104 Infantry Regiment, 26 Infantry Division
Entered the Service from: Indiana
Died: December 30, 1944
Awards: Purple Heart

I also found out where he is buried, but I don't want put that up. I feel relieved that I now have found this information and it will help me on a further search to find out about his military career. Plus I know will be able to pay my respects at his grave the next time I am in Europe, which I feel is a very important thing for me to do.

Both my grandfathers survived the war, don't know anything about my great uncles.

One was trained as a radio operator but then sent to a unit that was responsible for acquisition of war materials in Czechoslovakia (this is also where he met his later wife). The other had a factory in Silesia that made fountain pens until 1943, then V-weapon parts and finally detonators for blowing up bridges. This one's best friend was a Tiger company commander, and they met by chance one day in 1945, when he was on his way west.
