RA/RCA/US(airborne) Artillery units

I am currently setting up site about the above units who fought in the netherlands in 1944-1945.
Far from being finished ofcourse, but when I have the first info on it about the Heavy and Medium regiments I will bring on line, in the meantime if there are forum members who have information/documentation about the Heavy/Medium units, and they would like to share it it, it would be most welcome, of course the source will be mentioned.


Thanks in advance

 

Thanks Adam

 

Is Airborne for British as well as US?

Steve W.

 

for the moment only US airborne, Steve, as there is enough material around for the Airborne Div units. Maybe later on, as I also have enough material at home about the British airborne units

 

OK. Are you looking for info on the US Airborne units?

Steve W.

 

Yes indeed Steve, have only some small info at the moment

 

If any has any regimental books about units who fought in the Netherlands could you please let me know, so I can add a booklist to my site, also if you have or know any for sale

 

Hell's Highway, a chronicle of the 101st Airborne in Holland, Sept - Nov 1944. Written by George E. Koskimaki, ex Airborne. It contains 612 eye witness and diary accounts, including that of 90 Dutch civilians. Also contains maps and a few photographs. It was loaned to me by a friend in Vught. He found it in a Dutch second hand book shop. Loads of info that would help you.
