As a Hospice Chaplain, I recently encountered a 95 year old Infantryman of the 106th Inf. Div. Initially I saw a shadow box with a Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star Medal with V device and 2 subsequent award devices plus the appropriate campaign awards for the European Theater of Operations.(closer inspection revealed his name on each award). When I inquired about his unit, he proudly stated the 106th. All he would tell me at first that they were in the "Battle of the Bulge", later he described the horrors that this brand new unit on the front lines faced, simply as "Those Germans hurt us and hurt us bad." My research educated me of their combat history. My heart, and sympathies go out to the survivors of this Division. Thank you for your service and sacrifices.

Enjoying the website. I spent 4 years up at the Prum station. Many an hour spent serching the battle ground. Found and turned in lots of ordinance and brought back souvenirs.

My Dad, 2d Lt John B Lojko, trained with the 106th in Columbia, SC, in Battery B, 589th FA Battalion. He knew Eric Wood while in training, but never made it overseas. He visited the unit cemetery with my mother and pointed out the grave of the officer who replace him in the unit. Do not remember his name, but I assume like my father he was engaged in forward observation. He had mixed emotions about not being with the unit; however, had he been there I am convinced he'd be buried there as well. Ironically, my son was enrolled at Valley Forge MA and inducted in the EFW honor society

Excellent collection of relevant information. My father fought with the 106th at St.Vith. I'll be visiting the area in September, 2019.

My father William Riddle was with the 589th Field Artillery, Service Battery. He was wounded along with his Captain James Cagle and taken prisoner. My father went to Muhlberg IV Stalag and Capt. Cagle was sent to a different POW camp. After the war they stayed friends for many years. I have pictures of my father and Capt. Cagle in their uniforms and would love to share them. After my father was liberated he was sent to a hospital in Miami, FL. until he was well enough to return to duty. Like so many soldiers my father rarely talked about the war until late in life. The stories were fascinating. Thank you for this site.

I have a picture of my uncle, Melvin Eugene Mahar, that shows the 106th patch on his right shoulder. I'm looking for anything related to him. He re-joined the Army later and was killed in action in Korea.

This history is very nice, not too long and not too short. My father was in the 424th and talked about St Vith. He suffer frozen feet after 10 days of fighting and spent the reminder of the war in a hospital (tents on a British estate) then he spent a year in occupied Germany. He later became the president of the 106th Association (around 1990) Thank you for the article
