DirkvandenBol Posted August 10, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2018 Hello all, I came across a topic during my search for a picture of Staff Sergeant James A. Wells, a member of the 16th Inf. Reg. who received a DSC for his actions on Omaha Beach, June 6 1944. I have adopted his grave on Henri-Chapelle, Belgium and trying to find more information about him and a picture. Hopefully someone can help with my search:) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpast32 Posted August 10, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 10, 2018 Hello O/P, I will check my 16th Infantry files & publications for any photos of him. It may take me a few days as a great many of my books are still in my garage, in big bins. If I do get lucky, I'll get back to you ASAP. Good Luck, Best, dpast32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
