The new 897th blog

I plan to manage my blogging at blogger.com rather than directly on gocek.org as I have been doing for many years. Mainly, the issue is managing comments to blog posts. I don't get many comments, but I have been getting a lot of spam lately and a blogging platform like blogger will help me manage that. So, here's my first post for the blog related to my father's WWII company, the 897th Ordnance Heavy Automotive Maintenance Company.

    1. EUCMH I agree I am not an active blogger, but is there something you want to know? What is your interest in my web page (link at the top under the banner photo).

    1. I checked the EUCMH site, very nice. And as you see, I have some info about Stavelot on gocek.org but there is probably nothing you don't already know. My father mentioned Stavelot a lot, it seemed to be memorable to him.

  5. Don't think that Gary because every little bits of text brings something new. Stavelot and around was a pretty harsh battle. In your photos, the page where there are some from Rome Italy, you have a photo of a church in the background, there is snow, and looks like a metal barrier on the side of the road - this is the Church in Stavelot in January 1945. I have improved it but I can't post it here so I'll send it by email.

    1. The "Contact Gary" link above goes to a web page. There is an "f" box for facebook, yes, but also a "mail" link. Thanks.
