I'm searching for a veteran by the name of Joe Romano. He fought over in Europe with the tankers and the helmet is repainted with tank paint. He lived in Buffalo NY before moving to Florida where his daughter lives. The helmet I posted on here earlier is tied to this veteran. I've already done some research but finding it a little difficult because I (the poster) live in Canada, and wanting this to be a $0 project. So please help! I don't know where he is currently but hope to find out! I would also get in touch with this veteran and chat, listen etc.

 

I know:

Drafted into the 2nd Corps

 

Questions:

Define "tankers" armour tank or navy?

If you know his daughter's name, that would help. I can try looking.

Thanks :) By chance would you be able to find Mr Romano's obit? Assuming he passed away?
