From: Marlene Aldridge
My name is Marlene Aldridge. My uncle PVT JACK E. SNYDER of Flint, Michigan was a member of the 298th Engineers Company C. I wish to know about his mission and the details of his death, August 7, 1944. Was he shot, blown up? My mother was a teenager at the time and can't remember some things. She knows that he was in a forest and they came to a fork in the road and that the commander sent them down the wrong road and the Germans were waiting in ambush. She found out most of these things through one of twin brothers who were also from Michigan, their last name was HILL.
I would appreciate any information or anyone who knew him to email me.
