I have a friend who's father was captured during Operation Market Garden. His name was Richard Joseph Byrnes. It seems some of the 508th parachuted behind enemy lines. How can I find out if Richie Byrnes was one of them? I'm trying to find his exact unit. Was Richie Byrnes in the 82nd? 508th? Any help would be much appreciated.
Very Respectully, Ed
