The 337th Infantry in Italy in WW II

The 337^th Infantry Regiment in Italy during WW II.

My web page and the associated research has enabled me to come in contact with numerous veterans of the 337^th Infantry and many other related organizations (338^th, 339^th (Polar Bears), 310^th Engineers, 85^th Division). Specifically, it has enabled me to locate, communicate with and actually meet several men who served with my Dad.

Dad served as the platoon guide for 3^rd Platoon, Company C of the 337^th. Members of this platoon that have contacted me and/or my father include;

Lt. William C. Standish (platoon leader)
Gordon R. True
Cletus Scherer
Herbert Fisher (deceased, 2000)

I have had the pleasure of meeting both Bill Standish and Gordon True. A newspaper clipping from Stars and Stripes that my dad saved since the war led me to them. Click here to read this story.

Other members of the 3^rd Platoon that Dad can remember, but we have not located include

Elroy Granadis (Waco, TX)
?? Cook (WV, KIA last day of the war)
Noel Mullinax (Red Bailey Springs, TN)
Chuck Chicanetti
