Three chapters 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 had also been managing port operations in England during the build up to Normandy. To help those researching their family history I'm posting names from a 1946 unit roster here and in two other posts. 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.

Thank for telling the story of the 13th Major Port Company. My grandfather is Vincent C. Noto. He just turned 91 this year and has just started to share his stories of his time in Falmouth.
