If you know any of the units he belonged to you can start with their archives.

Get his unit and talk to CorkyJr on this forum. He knows a lot about tracing units and people in WWII.

I'd personally like to find stuff on my Grandpa. I never knew him as he died a few years before I was born, but he was in WW2 through the whole war. From North Africa to Europe. 45th Infantry Division.

Name is

Rollie 'Buddy' Snell

or just Buddy Snell.  :aok

He was in I think K Company and was in the company that withstood attacks from like 3 or 4 German divisions during Anzio.
