    Hi, My name is Marcelle and I am a daughter of Grady Hyder who was in the Headquarters Battery of the 203 FABN. My father died when I was a teenager and I am writing a book about him and my mother. They met in Belgium in 1944. If any vets are still alive out there or if their children knew of my father through their parents, I would like to talk with you. Please contact me at (Mhyder203@gmail.com) I know my father often talked about his army buddies and we visited some of them when I was around 10 yrs old. Lezniak, Alonzo, Harrel, Mitchell,Profitt, Nance, Fishwick, Riddick, Banks, Thompson, Napier are some of the names that I remember the most. Thanks

    Marcelle,
    My name is Lee Baines and my uncle, Jack Riddick of Suffolk, VA, was a heavy machine gunner in HQ Bat. of 203rh FABN. I see he is listed in your comment as one of your father's friends. I am sad to report Jack died yesterday evening around 8PM (July 20,2009). I am excited to hear that you are writing a book. I will contact you by email so that we can talk more.

    I am the daughter of Raymond Bechard. He died in 1972 and I would like to learn more about the 203rd campaigns and his time in Friedburg as either Town Major or Assistant Town Major. I have photos of him there, if you are interested. We visited Friedburg recently and visited the town hall & the schloss. A company of SS was entrenched at the castle as the Americans were approaching. They were preparing to fight back, but the women of the town confronted the commander and told him the war was over and to surrender. The town was saved. There was an article in the Friedburg paper about the event, just before we visited, with a photo of troops entering the town. Would you like a copy of these photos?

    Hi, is anyone still alive from 203rd FAB Battery B?

    My Dad, Fred "Fritz" Arndt passed away last October at 87. I have shed loads of photos - it would be great to get some identification of names! I can be reached at: peter.arndt@mac.com
