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.

What American army unit in Italy earned a larger number of citations for combat heroism than any comparable army unit?
442nd Regimental Combat Team which included the 100th Battalion.This unit consisted of Japanese-Americans from the west coast and Hawaii. They were one of the most decorated units in the US Army. They also had the unique distinction of fighting in Italy alongside the 36th Infantry Division, then transferring to Southern France with the 7th Corps and then were returned back to Italy, where they served until the end of the war. All other units that were pulled out of Italy for the invasion of Southern France did not return.While in Italy, the 442RCT was attached to the all-Black 92nd "Buffalo" Infantry Division, along with the 478th Regimental Combat Team, which consisted of men who had been trained as anti-aircraft gunners but where re-trained as infantryment. This made the 92nd Infantry Division an inter-racial US unit, having white soldiers, black soldiers and Asian soldiers.Organization:442nd COMBAT TEAM442nd Infantry Regiment..1st Battalion (100th Infantry Battalion) - Companies A, B, C, D..2nd Battalion - Companies E, F, G, H..3rd Battalion - Companies I, K, L, M.....-522 Field Artillery Battalion - 16 Mar 1945, reassigned to 7th Army......-232 Combat Engineering Company......-Anti- Tank Company......-Cannon Company......-Service Company......-206 Army Band...Supporting Units......-599th Field Artillery Battalion of 92nd DivisionLink to a short history: see related links (below)

How do you find a soldier in the seventh Infantry Company B?
ClarificationInstead of 7th Infantry Company, you probably mean 7th Infantry Regiment. Soldiers usually referred to their regiment or occassionally their Division. The discharge papers usually refer to the veteran's regiment. During WW2, the typical Infantry Division consisted of 3 Infantry Regiments and 4 artillery battalions and an engineer battalion and other supporting companies. Each Regiment consisted of 12 companies divided into 3 Battalions as follows:1st Battalion - Companies A, B, C, D2nd Battalion - Companies E, F, G, H and3rd Battalion - Companies I, K, L, M (no J).So, the term "7th Infantry Company" is not correct. A soldier would refer to his unit as:"Company B, 7th Infantry Regiment"If the soldier was talking to another soldier within the same division or location, he might shorten it to say: "7th Infantry, Company B". Here he implies a regiment and the comma(,) seperates the two levels of command. So your Question is not really Incorrect, but it needed some clarification for some readers.Also, Company B was in the 1st Battalion, so any reference to "1st Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment" would include his company. The Battalion was commanded by a Colonel and is the basic unit used in combat. So many histories will refer to the battalions and not the companies.AnswerThe 7th Infantry Regiment was part of the 3rd Infantry Division. This unit saw combat in Italy and fought at Anzio until July 1944 and then landed in Southern France in Aug 1944. There is a unit history on the 3rd Infantry Division that was printed in 1947 or so. Recently, it has been re-printed by Battery Press. It is a very large book and it is unique to most unit histories in that it contains an extensive roster of the soldiers who served in this unit. I would recommend that you contact your library and ask for an inter-library loan for this book. This book may have his name in it.The 7th Infantry Regiment were known as the "Cotton Balers". This unit is a descendant of a unit that fought at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812 and they used cotton bales to fortify their position.I wouldn't mind looking through it for your soldier's name.CustermenReference: "History of the 3rd Infantry Division in WW2" by Donald G.
