Raymond W. HANISH & Robert .E. INMAN

Good day everyone.

I adopted 2 graves of 2 heroes that helped with the liberation of europe.
To bad they lost there lives in this battle.

Now i wanted to know more about them and their units. Maybe if its possible to get in touch with family, maybe to find a picture of them

Here is some more information about them:
Pfc Raymond W. Hanish
517 Prcht Inf Regt.
Servicenumber: 35902728
Dod; 26 januari 1945 at St Vith, Belgium

Pfc Robert E. Inman
232nd Ordnance Bomb Disposal Company
Servicenumber: 35332453
Dod: 17 March 1945 At Germany


I requested a IDPF of sir Hanish last year in september. I Still didnt recieved annything.
I Hope someone can give me some more information about those 3 Heroes, also about the units and maybe some family to get in touch.
I allready looked some up about the units, i only found something about the 517 PIR but it wasnt not that much info. And i only find out that the 232nd OBDC was a unit of the 3th army of Patton, but i cannot find it anny where to check if its true.

If someone know some good books about these units you can always gif me the info about it.
I really want to know more about these 2 men

Here is the 17th PIR page on the ww2-airborne.us website. He is listed on the Roll of Honor which indicates he was in D Company.

Regarding your IDPF request, it shouldn't take more than a year to get it. I would send them an email stating when you submitted it and asking when you can expect to receive it. I did that recently and they sent it to me within a day or two.

 

Thx every one for the info! I allready got the last link. But the first also looks interisting.
Does someone know something more of the 232nd Ordnance Bomb Disposal Company?

 

Everything I found puts the "232nd Ordnance Bomb Disposal Company" in the Pacific, and it was disbanded in 1943.

I found this link for a Congressional speech in which an Arkansas congressman lists American BD/EOD casualties:

The photo of PFC Inman's marker has "232 Bomb Disposal Plat". That is pretty much the same unit name, just abbreviated to fit on the marker. Unfortunately, I haven't found much more yet. Perhaps someone will have better luck.

 

Yea all the info i also founded of the 232nd OBCD was that it was a unit from the pacific.
Thanks for the info, i will search further.

 

Sorry to bump this topic. I have adopted the grave of Edward R. Morris, 232nd Ordnance Bomb Disposal Company, died on the same day as Inman. They are mentioned on this website together too: Congressional Record, Volume 159 Issue 73 (Wednesday, May 22, 2013) (look for number 20)
Have you already found more information about this company?

I have created a webpage for E. Morris: nicksbattlefieldtrips.com
