    Looking for information on WWII Army Vet ...

    I'm looking for some information on a U.S. Army Veteran. I purchased a small lot of Army equipment a few years ago that had some uniform parts. There was a Green Garrison Cap (with Q.M. Corp piping) with some information scribbled on the inside of the lining. It tells an interesting story of travel and service. Here is the story it tells:


    G.R. Romero #39601145

    Ft. Lewis, WA 03-06-1941

    Ft. Ord, CA 06-09-1941
    CO:A: 205th Q.M. Bn.

    Ft Dix, NJ 02-21-1943

    Casablanca, North Africa 03-18-1943

    Italyicon 09-09-1943

    Rome, Italy 06-08-1944

    That's when the writing ends.

    I pray that he made it back Home alive and safe.

    I've tried to do some research on this soldier but have had very little luck. Can anyone shed some light on this person?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Thanks for the records on this gentleman. He made it Home to the states and got married in 1946. He died of old age in 2012 and is buried in Fresno Co., CA.
