My father, Jean M. Ubbes, commanded B company of the 743rd on D-Day. He lives in Kalamazoo, MI. I will ask him about your grandfather the next time I see him. If you don't have one already, try to get a copy of the official battalion history "Move Out Verify". Also, William Folkestad's recent history of the battalion "The View from the Turret" is available from Amazon.com. Dr. Folkestad teaches at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA and he was very helpful in sending my family copies of the after-action reports written by my father during the war. Keep the faith - Bill Ubbes
