PFC Ralph L. Williams
US Army 707th Tank Battalion
I am attempting to gather information regarding Pfc Ralph L. Williams, 707th Tank Battalion taken prisoner December 19, 1944, and sent to Stalag IIA. I Understand he contacted frostbite meeting the requirement to be awarded the Purple Heart. His Daughter attempted to obtain copies of military records only to be advised they were destroyed in the fire at St. Louis.
So the only other option is to locate someone held in same camp or another member of the 707th. Williams was medically discharged. Any assistance would be appreciated.
