PFC John B. (Jack) Dickson

517th, 1st Battalion, A Company

I am sending some photos of my Dad John Dickson.  He died in 1970, but was a member of the 517th from Nov.1944 until his discharge in 1946.  He was wounded on Christmas day 1944, during the battle of Soy-Hotten in Belgium, and spent time in an England convalescing.  I am interested in contacting anyone who remembers him and communicating with them.
 
Thanks.  Bob Dickson (RJDCKSON1 @aol.com)
