1. We (extended Ohl Family) are trying to ensure all Capt. Ohl's Crewmen are in the National WWII Memorial Website's 'Registry', and are:
- - Looking for Crew kin - for ongoing connection, exchange, photos etc.; and
- - Looking for 'home/territory' information [where these men entered the Service] the Website 'Registry' requires.
Any info or help is greatly appreciated.
(P) Capt.. Chas. O. Ohl, Pennsylvania
(CP) Lt. Daniel D Hagarty, ?
(N) Lt Harold L. Stralser, Michigan
(B) Lt George W. Heinz 'Pappy' ?
(ETT) Sgt. Joseph H. Tanney ?
(ROG) Sgt. Mike Sikorski Ohio?
(BTG) Sgt. Donald H. Schneider Kentucky?
(WG) Sgt. Gilbert D. Whitford West Virginia?
(RWG) Sgt. Dean F. Sword Michigan?
(TG) Sgt. Thomas G. Scott ?
2. For all 381st (and other WWII) Vets and kin, we encourage you to go to the National WWII Memorial Website
www.wwiimemorial.com and search their Registry for names. The Website also includes how to add names and add photos, and has a very helpful staff: phone 1-800-639-4WW2 or E-mail
wwiicustserv@americancustomercare.com It seems the 'Registry' is a 'best kept secret' - we visited the Memorial October last year, but I just learned about the Website & Registry this April (from a 401st Forum post).
3. FYI: The WWII Memorial staff itself doesn't have 'service entry location' info; the NARA (Phila., Draft Registration records) referred us to the NPRC, and an NPRC reply (wrote them today) will take 'a while', even if they don't have the info. We'll post our info progress here.
