Who can help me please finding this soldier's unit?

William F. Bauer jr, ASN 33720494.

It was dug up in the Ardennes.

Thanks.

At Ancestry he is listed under 319 Glider Field Artillery Battalion when returning to the US in 1945.

According Bart Hagermann's book Seventeenth Airborne Division he was also with the 681 Glider Field Artillery Battalion.

Someone who has that book? Is there more information in it about him?

In particular I am seeking for a picture from him.

William F BAUER Jr was member of the 681st GFAB / 17th AB during WWII but this dog tag is not a dug up one ...

 

This one is a dug up one found by me in the 90's in the area of Hemroulle, Bastogne.

Warren LILLY was member of the E/193rd GIR.

I found birth and death (both in Maryland) information but nothing else about his military record. Sorry.

The book has snippets available on google books. His name is listed in a roster of 17th Airborne Division Association members. A page that might have information about him isn't available. Two Bauers are listed. But you probably know that.
