I am trying to construct a unit history for the 231st Port Company (492 Port BN), which served in the Philippines from 1944-45 (at least). I'm not finding too many resources online. Any suggestions on resources?

I'm just now starting my research into this unit where my grandfather served. I'm surprised by the dearth of online references to this unit. I'm currently combing through the US Army Center of Military History. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find some primary source info?

Thanks!

Hi William,

Thank you for your question to History Hub. We have information on both the 231st port company and 492nd port battalion contained in the following series of records located at the National Archives in College Park, MD:

World War II Operations Reports

We have good finding aids for these records and should be able to locate the exact box or boxes that these records are in. If you have any further questions, please email us at archives2reference@nara.gov. Thank you.
