Please submit any info or memories of this unit for me to insert here. This is the 345th Regimental Crest. None in color in the History Book. Submitted by Mr. John McAuliffe For info on 87th Infantry Division Association: http://www.87thinfantrydivision.com UPDATE - JUNE - 2007 - per email from Karen (Gorman) Baker. Her Dad (Edward J. Gorman) was in the 345th Regiment (Company G). Karen said she just received the most recent Golden Acorn News, and one of the stories reminded her husband that he had taken pictures of these grave markers while on a trip to Europe several years ago. They are from 2 different military cemeteries (Hamm in Luxembourg and St. Avold in France). There is also a photo of the 87th Division plaque at the MARDASSON MEMORIAL - BASTOGNE, BELGIUM. She wanted to pass them along in tribute....and for anyone who might be interested. If any family member of these men see this - please let us know. Thanks to wonderful people like the Gorman's - who pull out their pictures and send them to this site - for all to view. .. That's what this link of photos galleries are all about... UPDATE - JANUARY 2008: These 2 wonderful comments were posted after the photos of the grave markers were placed....Wow.. These were pertaining to the grave marker of St. Avold - France RICHARD BOSHEY - Minnesota PFC; 347th Infantry Regiment 87th Division December 18, ____ Comment 1: From Stephanie Boshey : My grandfather would be so happy to know where his brother was buried, he has always wondered & wished to visit the final resting place of his little brother before he had passed last year. I would also like to thank you on behalf of my family for posting this picture it means a great deal to us. My Grandfather is probably smiling now knowing that his family knows where his little brother final resting place is and again Thank You! Comment 2 From sharlene ottertail: This man Richard Boshey was my relative. He was the little brother of my Grandfather, John Boshey Sr. My grandfather was suppose to go to war but decided not to. Perhaps, that was the smarest thing he ever done in his life. John Boshey Sr. passed away August 19, 2006 at the age of 94. My Grandfather always wondered where they put his grave. This is truly amazing, thanks so much to whoever took this photo. My family we'll surely be visiting Richard Bosheys' grave in St. Avold, France one day. Update - February - 2008: Mr. James Hennessey - 345th Regiment - Co E submitted several photos - Mr. Hennessey also provided his own personal web site that is filled with interesting great photos and information about his time and place in the war - as well ad general info about the 345th and the 87th Infantry Division! CHECK IT OUT: http://www.6thcorpscombatengineers.com/JamesHennessey.htm Update - October 29, 2008 Patrick Di Bari wrote about gallery: I would like to thank you so much for posting this picture of my grandpa cross. My mother and my grandma went to St. Avoid and brought back pictures. It is people like you that help people find there love ones from the war, that have no idea where they are. Also I would like to know if you have anymore pictures?
