I am helping my father-in-law who is the historian for a Massachusetts chapter of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge. He is trying to find information on a soldier KIA, but that's just about all the information he has, other than the details in the Subject line:

Douglas J. (Bud) Strand 30th Infantry Division 119th Infantry Regiment 1st Battalion Company D

We do not know where, when, or any other details around the death of Mr. Strand, or the history of his service while he was in Europe.

Any information I could pass along would be great. We are certainly willing to do further research if anyone can point to good sources to possibly find addtional information.
