Btry A 573rd AAA

Btry A 573rd AAA

Just recently found out my father was in Btry A of the 573rd. We have already found the History of the unit and found it very informative. Would love to see if anyone has pictures or anything else. Daddy didn't talk much about the war so this is new and exciting for me and my siblings. Any information would be helpful. My father's name was Walter Stigall.

Help me out here? Why do you show a document for a Marcotte when the user is asking about Walter Stigall?

The documents clearly don't refer to the person being enquired about, they're specimens of the type of documents being referred to.
