My grandfather passed away some time ago and I have very fond childhood memories of the stories he told me about the 44th. Thank you in advance for your time. Jerremy Townsend

Please contact Geoff Lackey: lackeys@charter.net Also, look to the left for the 2713 division photos. Click on the 44th. Also click on Oral History Videos. Click on Battalion. This sorts the battalions. There are 4 or 5 44th men giving interviews. See also Photo Album for pictures in training. There are short news films and stories about the liberation of Santo Tomas prison camp in Manilla on the web. Mike Woldenberg
