I think when you...Far Side, I remember that series. I think when you ran that series of photos, I was still posting on my father-in-law, who, coincidentally, was in the same battle (though he was serving with the Navy at the time). I looked carefully for both Frank Stevens and Earl Bean (he dropped the "e" once he enlisted), hoping to find something...but no luck...<br /><br />Hopefully, others seeing this link you've provided will take a look at the photos and list of names on your blog, spread the word, and help you find some family members of those servicemen and nurses.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-81858387715115806602013-05-07T20:56:07.813-07:002013-05-07T20:56:07.813-07:00Mariann, you are so kind to be so encouraging!

Even though I doubt there is any remaining stash of letters, thankfully, there are local genealogical society resources I've yet to mine.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-78187480223111068222013-05-07T20:53:24.411-07:002013-05-07T20:53:24.411-07:00He was rather understated, wasn't he?!He was rather understated, wasn't he?!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-81082940263280342452013-05-07T08:47:40.359-07:002013-05-07T08:47:40.359-07:00Saying a "nick" makes it sound so minor ...Saying a "nick" makes it sound so minor and yet it was worthy of a hospital stay and a purple heart. I would sure like to know more. I love the bits and pieces that we find about our ancestors, but they always always always leave me wanting to know more. Great find and post Jacqi.
