My Great Grandfather Cecil Salter Was with the 84th Rail Spliters..He was A Technician..If anyone knew him or has family that did I have pictures of him and a ton of fellow soldiers..I just got his uniform and I'm in the process of persiving it..
My great grandfather was also in the 84th mine was with the battery b 326 field artillery battalion I never had the chance to meet him he passed a few years before I was born
The 84Th Railsplitters was the first US Soldiers my mother faced on april 6 1945 in Messenkamp . The 333 and 334 must have bin the first ones who reached the Bad Nenndorf - Rodenberg - Lauenau - Messenkamp Areas after the heavy fightings at the Weser Mountains few days befor. At same time parts of the 102nd ,,Ozarks" reached my homecounty from southwest direction from Hameln- Bad Münder - Einbeckhausen. We have a littel Brewery in our Town named Felsenkeller engl, Rock basement cellar .... i am shure someon of the Veterans remindes this ,, Refrechment Point" in Lauenau.
