Your follow-up on The Lost Battalion
8/17/00
Hello Mr. Baldwin. My grandfather George J. Weinmann was a member of Co. F, 308th Inf., 77th Div. My family said that he was a member of the Lost Battalion. His obit in the local newspaper stated that he was a member of the Lost Battalion. I know that Co. F was not in the pocket, but could he have been a replacment in another company? Also,can you check your Dad's records to see if he is listed as being a member of the survivor group. I know Lost Battalion Hall is in Queens NY, he lived in Brooklyn, NY. I know he was a member of the VFW and the American Legion, but I am not sure about the survivor's organization. I have several books on the Lost battalion, along with my grandfather's helmet and round dogtag. It would be a honor to hear from you. George J. Weinmann [email protected]
