Comments: I am the director of the California State Military Museum located in Sacramento.

We would like the former members of the 40th ID to know that we have established a archives here at the museum. We are making a major effort to preserved the photos, records, and papers of the members of the division and make them available to historians, researchers, and family members.

The current 40th ID HQ has already transferred all of their photos from WWII, the official 40th Signal Co combat camera set as well as other collections of the Division's history.

If you can get this out to your members, we would appreciate it.

Comments: I am looking for someone in the 740 Ord Maint Co who served in Korea with my late husband, Daniel D. Croy (Gabby) 1950-52. Dan passed away in December 1998 and I have a lot of pictures that he took while in Korea that I have no idea who they are of. I would like someone who served with him to have them. He was in a small detachment maintaining tanks (if I remember correctly).
