[edit] Hey

I removed your comment as unhelpful. Do you really think it was helping to achieve consensus on this issue? - FrancisTyers ยท 13:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bismarck

Hi, for the second time I have reverted your change of the expression "try and rescue". Your edits to strandardise this page are appreciated but this change is not necessary bigpad 18:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 517th PIR versus 517th PRCT

Thanks for your addition of some historical details to the 517th PIR page. However, when I initially created the page, I purposely left it short, with a link to the 517th PRCT page, since during their combat time, this was a combined unit. The members of the 460th PFAB and 596th PCEC were also in Italy, southern France, the Bulge, and Germany. Some of the items you added, which were copied from the 517PRCT page, do not really apply here, such as some notable soldiers who were in the 460th. The 460th was only part of the combined PRCT, not the 517 PIR.

Therefore, wouldn't it make more sense to add the history to the PRCT page only, and not with each separate group?

Also, on the "official" 517prct web site, there is a "Short History" of the 517prct, the 460th, and the 596th, each of which could be chopped up and added to the wikipedia pages. But is that too much detail?

Question, Obviously, you have some knowledge and interest of the 517th. I am curious to your relationship to them? Do you have a relative?

[edit] 517th PIR versus 517th PRCT

Nate, I got your feedback about PIR versus PRCT. Minor differences in the history, which not many readers will appreciate, save for the members of the attached 460th and 596th. But they are probably used to the confusion.

Some day, I might copy parts of the 517 history into Wikipedia, but those histories need some rewrite to be impartial and detached.

My connection to the 517th is through my Dad who was part of H Company. For him, and his 517th friends, I set up the 517th web site (517prct.org) a few years ago. I haven't seen your name mentioned in any of the Guestbook or MailCall entries. (I can do a search on that website and its MailCall.) Who is your fiance's grandfather? Is he still alive? Does he, did he, get to any reunions?

email me directly -- webmaster@NOSPAM517prct.org -- if you want to take this conversation offline. Take out the "NOSPAM"
