He helped with our research, the recce of the trip and was able to answer any question I had. Not only that but as a medical unit we had a special interest in the clinical difficulties faced by the combatants.

  Edwin provided a great experience during my recent visit to Belgium and Germany. My father fought in WW2 and was in the 4th division, 22nd Regiment. He was wounded in... read more the Hurtgen Forest in November 1944 and again near Prum, Germany in 1945. Edwin took us to both places. He clearly did a good deal of research in advance and that allowed us to closely trace my dad's footsteps. He even had obtained copies of my dad's draft registration and hospital records from his wounds. We also visited Henri Chapelle Military Cemetery where my dad's best friend is buried. Edwin had obtained information, including a photograph, of my father's friend. Our visit to the Hurtgen took us deep into the forest-Edwin had figured out exactly where my dad's unit was during that awful battle. Exactly what I had hoped for.

It was a very meaningful day and Edwin was great-exceeded expectations. He was very well prepared and made it an unforgettable day.

Went over Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Scheldt Estuary, Sloedam attack over the causeway, Hurtgen Forest, Remagen, Battle of the Bulge, Bastogne, 101st Airborne Museum in Bastogne, Luxemburg/Lorraine US Cemeteries, Maginot in France, Nierstein (where Patton crossed the Rhine) and many, many more.
