Our father, John David Foley (may have gone by last name “Moody”), enlisted at Camp Upton, NY in 1944 and separated from Ft. Dix 02 June 1946. He fought in the Ardennes, Central Europe and the Rhineland (33 WD 45 as amended). He is pictured with the 37th Armored Group (or the 37th division of another unit?) in the photo below (1st row, 6th soldier from the left, dark hair).
His discharge papers have him designated as being in the 273rd Infantry, 69th Division, but that division did not participate in the Battle of the Bulge, so he may have been reassigned to them. In this case, we do not know his original unit. Our father is deceased (1973), and there are no relatives who can be contacted. My two sisters and I are hoping to find someone who might have remembered “Foley/Moody” or who served in any of the same units our father served in. Please feel free to contact me if you have any information to share. We would be thrilled to hear any ‘nugget’ of information you might have.
