The list includes WWII Soldiers mentioned on the site who were in the 590th Field Artillery Battalion of the 106th Infantry Division at some time during their time in the Army.
The ROSTER being assembled by Jim West on the Indiana Military site, too. Since many of the division's documents were destroyed when units were captured, the assembly of a partial roster has been a long, painstaking labor.
Note: the Roster location has changed. Jim West has turned it over to Wayne Dunn who is maintaining it on the 106th Infantry Division Association Site: 106thinfdivassn.org/roster106/rostera.html
