PFC. Alphonse William Schill
United States Army 106th Infantry Division
from:St. Louis City, MO
My great uncle was PFC Alphonse "Al" William Schill, born in Formosa, County Bruce, Ontario, Canada. He served in the 106th Infantry Division and was captured at the Battle of the Bulge. I have the "post cards" that he sent to my great aunt saying that he was imprisoned at Kriegsgefangenen-Durchgangslager POW Transit Camp (dated 28 January 1945) and Stalag XIIA (dated 17 February 1945). My great aunt kept several newspaper clippings about the 106th Division. She also had one that listed her husband (Al) as being Missing In Action, her brother as being Wounded In Action (Edwin A. Wittneber) and her cousin (Fred W. Harrow) as being Killed In Action
