Unfortunatly I do not at the moment however I do know that someone in my family has a picture of several men in the company. I am unsure as to where it is. My great grandfather served in the company too. :)
You can find a list of those who served in the 77th infantry division in a book entitled, "Ours To Hold It High."
26th Infantry Division was named the "Yankee Division" and their shoulder patch was a khaki Diamond with blue letters "Y D". This infantry division served in France and Germany. A typical WW2 infantry division contained about 15,000 men at full strength. It contained 3 Infantry regiments and 4 artillery battalions as well as support units such as Medial, Engineering, QuarterMaster and Signals.
A US Infantry Regiment of WWII, such as the 34th Infantry, had about 3200 men at full strength. There was a Regimental HQ and a HQ Company, a Cannon Company with 105MM howitzers, a service company, an intelligence and reconnaissance platoon, quartermaster and armorer detachments, besides its three main combat elements, which were three rifle battalions (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd). Each rifle battalion had about 850 men at full strength.I'd guess there were probably somewhere between 10-15,000 men who served in the 34th Infantry at some time during the war. Continual replacements were required for men killed, wounded, evacuated for illness or accidents.
Answer Initially, the 101st Airborne Division had 8,596 man strength. The airborne Division was smaller than an infantry division, which had approximately 15,000 men. The Airborne Division had 3 Regiments made up of 3 battalions consisting of 3 companies. The infantry had 3 regiments divided into 3 battalions of 4 companies Later in the war, the Airborne Divisions were increased to four three-battalion regiments and had an assigned strength of well over 12,335.

Usually if a soldier said he was in 'the 27th Infantry" he was referring to his regiment. The 27th Infantry was one of the three infantry regiments in the 25th Infantry Division. The 25th ID was in Hawaii, at Schofield Barracks, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The Japanese also strafed Schofield Barracks and bombed a mess hall at Schofield Barracks. The 25th ID went on to fight on Guadalcanal and Luzon, in the Philippines. The shoulder patch of the division is in the shape of a taro leaf, in red, with a yellow lightening bolt on it. Its nickname is "Tropic Lightning" or the "Pineapple Division", because some of its units were drawn from the old Hawaiian Division. The 25th ID also served in Korean and Vietnam.Sometimes civilians will refer to an infantry division the same way a soldier did his regiment, in which case they will say "the 27th Infantry" when the really mean the 27th Infantry Division. There is a 27th Infantry Division, and in peacetime it is the New York National Guard. The 27th ID served in France in WWI and elements of it served in the Pacific in WWII, on Saipan and Okinawa.

I have a list of all the men that served in the 15th Infantry Regiment during WW 2. Unfortunately it is not broken down by "Company," but alphabetical for the entire regiment. Please feel free to e-mail me with the question(s) that you have so that I may try to assist you. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com need to know if my grandfather served in this section of WWII.

No. Howard Stern jokingly says that he served in the 25th Infantry Division towards the end of war in Vietnam in 1973. He has never served in the military.
He attended and graduated from Ranger School, but he never served in a Ranger unit. He was a helicopter pilot in the 8th Infantry Division.
The following gentlemen were members of the 3rd Infantry Division & served at Anzio. PFC John Oros 7th Infantry Regiment T-4 Emery J. Orosz 703rd Ordnance Company Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com
Leo P. Molina served in Vietnam in 1968 - 1969. He served in Company C, 2d Battalian, 3rd Birgade, 506th Infantry, 101st Airborne.
None. The 34th "Red Bull" Infantry Division served in North Africa and all during the Italian Campaign. They were first attached to the II Corps and later to the IV and maybe VI Corps. The V Corps took part in the D-Day landings at Normandy. They were part of the 1st Army for awhile, then the 3rd Army and finally the 7th Army. However the 5th Army did serve in Italy and the 34th Infantry Division served under its command.
It would be difficult to provide a detailed history of Company K to include its troop movements, battles, casualties and such. The 3rd Infantry Divison served in Sicily and Italy, including time at Anzio Beach. After the fall of Rome in June 1944, they participated in the invasion of Southern France where they fought into Germany. There is a detailed history of the 3rd Infantry Regiment that was published soon after the war. Maybe you can obtain a copy through an inter-library loan. Or you can purchase it from the publisher; Nashville Press. "History of The Third Infantry Division in World War II" by Donald G. Taggart. Battery Press, 1945
