Dear Martijn and Team,
I found your Amazing Website this morning, thank you! I was searching for a few more Tidworth Tidbits for my Great Uncle Pete;s book that I am currently writing, and I found so much more than that! I didn''t have the June 1944 operation report. Thank you for sharing this.
Corporal Peter S. Snoich was an Iron Knight in the 66th Armored Regiment of the 2nd Armored. He served in the Reconnaissance Company from North Africa onward. On November 28, 1944, Pete was killed from a random shell, when setting up another nighttime perimeter on the Roer Plain of Germany.
Private Don Evans (you can listen to Don if you search his name on YouTube) was the last to speak with Pete and witnessed his death. Pete is buried in Margraten, Holland.
Pete's grew up in the small borough, Coaldale, PA which sent 1,225+ men and women to every WW2 theater. I am currently documenting Coaldale's WW2 monument on FindaGrave.com I will run a cross-reference on your 17th Engineers and my Coaldale research and see if anyone pops up.
Pete's Niece, Erica
