Did any of the 56th come through Chester County SC during the Manuevers? Chester SC hosted several dances and other activities and the Historical Society has all the photographs taken by Henry Nichols during that time. We have thousands of pictures of GI's that came through but no names attached. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

May 24th, 2013 Tony De Maria Pfc 56th Signal Battalion passed away. My dad arrived at Woodland Camp, Lurgan Ireland Sept. 4th, 1942, traveled on the James I McKay transport ship before arriving France with company B and traveled 1305 road miles before leaving from Pilson, Czechoslovakia May 8th, 1945. I am posting this notice in honor of my Dad as well as hoping to find additional photos of company B during this time. Dominic De Maria, email contact ddemaria@dps-sc.com

Mr. Searl,
As the current commander of the 56th Signal Battalion, Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, I would like to express my gratitude to you for sending us your website URL. I enjoyed very much the photo galleries. I am currently traveling on behalf of the 56th, but would like an address for you, so that I can send a current 56th Signal Battalion "coin".
