My father was a member of the 562nd and later the 582nd SAW Battalion during WWII. I believe there were some other names for his unit as well, maybe 2691st and 734th? He served in North Africa, landed on Pantelleria and continued on to Italy and France. He was a radar mechanic and I believe his military occupation number was 514. I do not recall how I came upon this site and your address. I had it bookmarked some time ago. I would be interested in comparing notes with you.
