Hi all

I have a small grouping of documents to a fellow in Jag. Reg. 204. Does anyone know what division that unit was in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Manual for the additional information. Tragically this soldat was killed in action on April 30, 1944. One of the most powerful things about this small group is a letter written to him by the wife of a comrade that was killed thanking him for the nice words regarding her husband who was resently killed. However, he never had a chance to respond. Anyway sorry for rambling on, sometimes I get carried away

Once gain, thank you for the additional information.

Sincerely

Bradd
