My name is Jason Morris, and I have been researching the 60th Infantry Regiment for over 15 years, beginning with my grandfathers experiences. I hope to someday have a very robust and freely available database of information about the Regiment.

Hi, my name is Yuri Beckers, 31 years old. I have been researching the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest for some time now, and I am very interested in the actions done by the 60th IR during september and october during this battle in 1944. I am writing a book about the battle as well, and hope to get some personal information from those who were there. I will never forget what they have done there. Yuri

Hello, I am a professional historian studying the 60th for background to help me understand better the life of George W. Baker, H company, who died (non-battle related) on May 4, 1945 in Greppin Germany. Several years ago I came into possesion of most of the v-mail he sent home to Boyne City MI. and after reading them, I feel a great empathy for him, the rest of the men in the Regiment, and his family If anyone remembers anything about PFC Baker, I would appreciate your help.

Dear Glenn,my name is Véronique Gigot and my father, Antoine, was 16 in Sept. 1944. He directly witnessed the events taking place in Heer and Blaimont, his village. Combats between the 60th Regiment and SS from the 2SS Panzerdivision raged in the village from Sept. 3 through Sept. 5. My father and his family were evacuated to a nearby village, Mesnil Saint Blaise. On Sept. 6, very early in the morning, they saw a column of US prisoners (estimated 318) crossing the village. Some rumors say that they were liberated in the area of Hulsonniaux (another village some 4 miles of Mesnil St Blaise). This remains to be checked. My father and I are now researching the events,combining the testimonies of locals and,if possible,of US and German soldiers. If we have more and if you are interested in other details, we can keep in touch on that matter. Best regards Véronique Gigot (Brussels)
