I just noticed I hadn't given my dad's name in my previous post. It was Harold Gerth.

Brad Gerth

I think my grandfather served with your dad ... I can't know for sure. He died in 1979. I found lots of letters and pitures (with trinkets) from his war service. I am just now learning about him. I have a unit? picture scanned that I can send to you and we can compare to see if your dad is in the shot. It must have 200+ people in it.
