270th FA Bn. ETO. WWII

Brian Nicely Nov 26, 2018 9:59 AM

i have been doing some fact finding about the 270th for the last few months and am wondering if anyone on here has info about this unit? This was my Grandfathers unit during the war and I would like to learn a little more about it.

Also can someone tell me where this info is from? I have done so much digging/finding that I now know I did not keep my information in an orderly fashion. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Thanks. Brian

Dear Mr. Nicely,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
The document included in your post is a copy of an index card from the series titled Index to World War II Operations Reports, 1940 - 1948 in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1905-1981 (Record Group 407). The card lists the records of the 270th Field Artillery Battalion that are available in the series titled World War II Operations Reports, 1940 - 1948 also in RG 407. For access to and copies of these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
We also searched the unit records in the Records of U.S. Army Operational, Tactical, and Support Organizations (World War II and Thereafter) (Record Group 338) but were unable to locate additional records of the 270th.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
