Hello everyone. Please forgive any possible breech in forum protocol, but I do not know where to post, or where to start, and thought this might be a good place.

My grandfather served in WWII and never talked about it much. From the little information I have received, I believe that he was sent as a replacement troop into the Battle of the Bulge near the end of the War. Even my father has few stories or details about my grandfather's service, and while my grandfather is still alive, I have never been able to retrieve this information from him, and he is now failing due to age.

I am wondering how I could go about finding out what division, etc., he was part of. I would really like to learn more about the role my grandfather played in the war - whatever little tidbit I can find. I do have a handful of old photos which he took while he was there, but it isn't much to go on. Luckily, my grandmother wrote little notes on the back of each photo upon his return, but nothing that indicates much to me.

Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated. Even if no one can help, I want you all to know that I love your site and what you are doing here.

Sincerly,
Mr. Stacy Snook
