I am trying to identify a unit and have little to go on. An uncle of mine passed away a few months ago an I just learned he was assigned to Co A, 180th Inf Bn. I have looked at various web sites but have been unable to identify the order of battle here. I also know that he was in Sicily and was wounded in possibly France. I also have another uncle that was killed in action in France in 1944. He served with the 12th Inf, 4th Inf Div. Where would be the best place to look for information on this unit? Thanks Roger
Can you send his name, for them both? ----- Original Message ----- From: <cfarm1@bellsouth.net> To: <WORLDWAR2@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 9:20 PM Subject: [WORLDWAR2] Unit information |I am trying to identify a unit and have little to go on.

Roger, could you possibly mean 180th Infantry Regiment which was part of the 45th Infantry Division? I did a Google Search on 180th Infantry Battalion and found only Regiment. If you Google Search 45th Infantry Division, you will find many sites. If you Google Search 12th Infantry Regiment you will also find many sites. The Unit Association is a good place to start. You may find a Bulletin Board or Guest Book where you can post a message seeking information. Ellis Hosbach Bethel Park, PA
