Reposted: USA WW2 Involvement in the Pacific

[lilpurplepearl]

Hi Chatters,

I'm wondering if someone would know ALL of the Divisions from the USA that served in the Pacific arena with our Diggers in WW2 or at least point me in a direction where I could find out? Mostly interested in Navy/Coastguard (1942-1944).

My "Family History Research Network" (aka: family grapevine) has revealed some interesting mysteries that I'd like to try & see if there is any basis to.

Cheers

Well, for US Army Troops, you might want to look at:  http://archive.org/details/OrderOfBattleUsArmyPtoWw2

This lists all US Army Organisations which served in the Pacific Theatre during the war.  Finding out which ones may have served with the Aussies may be a bit more difficult.  The US Army has a massive set of reference books on the Army during WW2, which you can find on the web-- I am sure that several of them will have the information you are seeking.  Take a look at:  http://www.history.army.mil/html/bookshelves/collect/usaww2.html

The Navy has a similar set of histories, all under the title of "History of United States Naval Operations in World War II".  I think many are on Google Books.

Good Luck!
