Welcome To Our Website

We call it our website because most of the content is brought to us from actual members of the 106th during WWII - and their family members.  This website began with a few photos and graphics left to me by my father, James J. "Red" Devereaux.  My dad was a cook in the 106th, making meals for the wounded on restricted diets.  I don't recall many stories from the war, and as a cook, I suppose he would be the last to know what was going on.  But he came through unscathed - and I can really appreciate that because otherwise I wouldn't be here!

While working this site I came in touch with Art Gaines, who was a medic attached to the 106th.  Now he had stories to tell.  I received many letters from Art over the years and I intend to scan and publish them here one day.  The man was sharp as can be right up to his death in 2010.  I felt a tremendous loss when Art passed away and he's very much missed.

I enjoy getting email from the children and grand-children (and now great-grandchildren) of those who served in the 106th.  If you happen to come by this site, send a quick note to say hello.  Be sure to mention your relationship to the unit member. 

This website continues to evolve.  We've had numerous communications over the years about unit members, spelling errors, omissions, photos, updates, and such.  We very much appreciate those who help our site and we look forward to even more communications in the years to come!

Received communication from Col. William McKell Hadly and his daughter on Commanding Officer, Colonel  William A. Hadly, who served the 106th from 20 May 1943 to 19 Feb 1945.  As we receive materials we will be posting
