There used to be a website of WW2 Veterans that included a roster of names but it has moved.I'm not sure what your question is but it seems you are asking for more info on PFC Harold Lewis of Company E, 85th Mountain Regiment of the 10th Mountain Division who served(or was wounded?) in Aiano, Itlay.Try to contact a 10th Mountain Division veteran's organization(even post WW2 veterans) and see if they can help you.Here is Regimental History of the 85th during world war II. I didn't see Harold Lewis mentioned but it details the actions of Company E.http://reallybigcompany.com/papers/THE-85th-MOUNTAIN-INFANTRY-REGIMENTAL-HISTORY/
