posted 5/27/2012 8:00:15 PM  John Darlington was a member of Battery B of the 572nd. Check BOOKS AND WRITTEN EXPERIENCES and scroll down until you find the book about the 572nd. The book is a pretty good one and your father's name may be in it. Also, check out the ORAL HISTORY VIDEOS. Click on Battery, and all the men from that battery will be together. Finally I will send you the name and contact information of the Unit Rep. to the Hellcat News.

Also, the book on the 572nd gives your Dad's address at the end of the war.

posted 6/5/2012 9:26:59 AM  I have removed my email from my profile. Since joining this site, I have been the lucky recipient of almost $7 million USD! Since it's all in African banks it may be awhile till I get it. In the meantime, I can't affiord to get any more free money so I'll hide for a bit. Hopefully, that aurline crash in Nigerua took out some of the email scamming scumbags.
