Hello all! I stumbled across this site and lurked for a few days and found a great deal of info. Kudos to you Mr. Robertson.
I am attempting to compile info on my uncle MSgt George J. Donish from Pennsylvania. I believe he was recruited to the OSS while working for Douglas Aircraft and was assigned to Project 19 in Eritrea. He was then sent to Italy, Albania and Romania assigned to Hqtrs 2677th.
I have a great deal of pictures from his service at those various assignments. In those photos are both civilian and military members and are notated with their names and dates.
However, there are some just listed with a rank and last name. This has made research a bit difficult. The pictures are being restored and preserved so I can copy them.
I have pictures of:
Gen Schuyler (US Army)
Cmdr Wasner (US Navy)
Major Bishop (US Army)
Sgt Jerry Mican (US Army) Captured and later executed.
I have generic OSS info on them.
The following I have pictures but no info:
Major Henry (US Marines?)
Major Mentroni (US Army)
Capt Long " "
Lt Privosnic " "
Sgt Fenton " "
Sgt Yasu " "
Sgt Young " "
Cpl Paloney " "
Cpl Petrillo " "
John Faier(Interpreter)
Mr. & Mrs. Bragadiro (Romainia)
I am in contact with a gentleman that is familiar with the NARA and will be going there in the Fall.
I would appreciate any guidance or info on those above prior to my trip.
Thank you.
Walt
