The longest journey begins with one. This is the first time I have tried to put any of my research about the 474th in one place for anyone other then me or my wife to read.
Outside of conversations with surviving members of the Battalion and emails with family members of the veterans passed, the dissemination of information has been small.
My father was a member of the 474th and with the availability of more information on the Web, I was able to piece together some gaps in my collection of photos, maps and Bn. roster. I will try to include and add to these postings on a regular basis. I hope it some small way it might help some family member in the frustrating search for some kernel of information about their relatives service in 474th AAA in World War II.
Please let me hear from anyone who might have any interest in the 474th AAA AW Bn (SP).

My dad ( Charles Tatum ) was in Btry B - 474th AAA. I really enjoyed reading the Louis Small's play by play of what went on. I have been on a frantic search for any and all info of what he went through as a very young man serving his country.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for starting this blog.
My Grandpa, Rich Mantick, was in the 474th and we are searching for information. Anything will help.
