13th Major Port roster, part 1

Chapters 11 to 14 of my book deal with WWII Antwerp. In overall command of the American supply operations in this city was the 13th Major Port. The 13th has also been managing the port operations back in England during the build up to Normandy. John Partridge, a veteran officer of the 13th, supplied me with a 1946 unit roster. I'm including the names in this post to help those researching their family history. If you see your dad or grandfather in the list feel free to get in touch. Also, be sure to see my other 13th Port history articles.

  1. Thanks, Andrew....Looking forward to the next installment of this roster....My Dad will be among the New York boys, but I had to smile some, because one of the guys in the Jersey section was my Dad's Best Man in April of '45...

  3. My dad was James W. Wadell from Louisville, Ky. He passed away this past September at age 95. I now have his uniform and all his US Army discharge papers. I discovered your site while researching to identify the 13 Black Cat patch on his uniform. It is great to learn about his time in the Army during WWII.
