745th info...My dad is also in the front row. He passed away years ago and I never knew anything about the 745th until I did research in 2000-01, found some living members, and attended their 55th reunion in St. Louis. I'll dig up some tidbits. (Mark S./nov 12,2011)

My dad was a Lieutenant with this unit pictured (Company C), top row, fourth from the right. He was George Duffy and was the trainmaster at Mariani, Lumding, and Manipur. He kept a daily diary from arrival (January 10, 1944 to October, 1945). I would like to contact anyone who served in this Company or relatives to help preserve the story of their service. email me: whlrydr@aol.com
