BillC writes ... Hi Nancy, I have in my possession “History of the 756 RY SHOP BN”. Monty F Foster, Tec 4 is listed in the Hq. Co. Monty was my wife’s uncle. He died 08 may 1985, buried in Dalhart, Texas.Monty left no wife or children.

After his service he was a train engineer the remainder of his working years.I would like for someone to have this book that might have some sentimental attachment. You are the only person ...

Thanks so much to Bill and to Uncle Monty for keeping this important unit history safe for all these years and donating it to the blog so that everyone with a connection to the 756th ROB can enjoy it and learn about the work and sacrifice of these guys ...
