Hello everyone,
I am looking for anyone that might recall Ashley Thompson of A Company 17th AIB. He was KIA in Herrlissheim January 1945.

read your post in TAPS. The 12th wasn't in the Battle of the Bulge. Herrlisheim was a big battle. You can read stories in Books and Written Experiences and also view the 17th in the 2713 Division Photos. I have read the history but no mention of him by name as yet.
William Funke is Unit Rep and you might email him. fwilliam46@msn.com

Ashley Thompson, Paul Strate and Alfred Rosenthal were all in A-17th Armored Infantry
Battalion. Bill Funke can put a notice in
the Hellcat News. (Probably the October issue). I checked for Strate and Rosenthal
and they are not on the current list of recipients for the Hellcat News.

You might watch some of the oral histories of the 17th A. CLICK ON ORAL HISTORIES AND THEN GO TO ONE MARKED FROM 17 A
