My Grandfather, Wilburn Ray "Smitty" Smith was a radio operator for the 743rd. He went from England through to the end of the war with the Battalion. I believe his job had him jumping between Companies on the front in a scout car a lot.
He was highly decorated (2 bronze stars and numerous other medals), sadly he passed away last year in January 2008. Pretty amazing group of people.
If anyone wishes to contact me they may at ebertram@hotmail.com
