- John A.Blaskiewicz
- Sergeant in L Company of the 410th Infantry
-
- My father was in the 103rd division for the last
six months of the war. His name is John A.
- Blaskiewicz. He was a sergeant in L Company of the
410th Infantry. He was from
- Saint Louis, Missouri and was born on 11-30-24. He
was assigned to the 103rd in November
- of 1944 as a replacement, according to my mother.
He stayed with the 103rd until the end of
- the war. After the war he returned to Saint Louis,
worked as a machinist and eventually owned
- a machine shop of some 40 employees. He died in
1974. I am one of two sons and a
- daughter. My mother lives here in Saint Louis and
has been in touch with some of the members
- of his original unit, the 75th division. I have a
copy of the division history, but it is difficult to
- follow the course of my father's unit through the
war. I would be most appreciative of
- any guidance on obtaining additional information.
At some point in time I plan
- to try and retrace his steps through Europe. Thank
you in advance for any help
- you might provide.
