They put a hitch around the wagon and by use of the pulley raised It. Mr. Hart was extricated and taken to the Leominster Hospital in Engine 4. According to authorities at the Leominster Hospital, he died shortly after being admitted to the hospital at 12.05. Sergt. Comiskey said that Mr. Pellechia reported that he had met Mr. Hart up town and that the two had started to ride home in the wagon. They were taking a short cut from Mechanic street to Lancaster street, Mr. Pellechia said, by way of the freightyard. Mr. Hart, he said, was driving the horse at the time.

There was a GREAT fire which occurred within the St Louis National Archives building in St Louis, in 1973. The fire destroyed many of the individual veteran's records, but not ALL. Unit records survived; they are located in Maryland. I requested his records from St. Louis, but was told they were destroyed in the fire. What I know so far:
2.a)
- Mulgrew, Allan J. ? PFC M Co. 254 INF.
(p. 681, Alphabetical Roster of all men assigned to the 63rd Infantry Division during the period 15 June 1943 thru August 1945)
- Mulgrew, Allan J. ? PFC
M Company's Roster; pages 182-186
(p. 185, 254th Infantry Regiment, 63rd Division "Trail of the 254 thru Blood and Fire)
2.b)
Allan J. Mulgrew was assigned to M Company 254th Infantry Regiment on 23 August 1945 just prior to the division returning to the US. He came from the 1175 Engineer Combat Group and was assigned to the 63rd Infantry Division for the purpose of accompanying the division back to the U.S in September 1945. Little is known about the soldiers returning to the US with the 63rd Infantry Division in that most of them did not serve with the division in combat, but were assigned only because they had enough "points" to return at this early date. It is possible that he was initially assigned in the 106th AAA (Antiaircraft Artillery) Group, and later with one of the battalions of the 1175th Engineer Combat Group.
The 1175th Engineer Combat Group was activated from the now surplus 106th AAA Group. It was composed of at least 3 Bns:
- The 367th Engineer Combat Battalion was constituted 19 October 1944 as the 367th Engineer Combat Battalion and activated 31 December 1944 in France. Possibly formed from the 406th AAA Gun Bn.
- The 369th Engineer Combat Battalion was formed 31 Dec 1944, Marignone France from personnel of the 215th AAA Gun Battalion (Semimobile) Credited with Central Europe and Rhineland Campaigns.
- The 370th Combat Engineer Battalion was formed from the 74th AAA Gun Bn on 31 December 1944 at Gignac, France. 370th`s location in August 1945 was Ulm, Germany.
2.c)
From the records of Delta Base Section: "The 1175th Engineer Combat Group with the 367th, 369th, and 370th Engineer Combat Battalions were activated from the the 106th AAA Headquarters Group: 406th, 215th, and 74th AAA Gun Battalions and a cadre from 7th Army. A twelve (12) week training was started 8 January 1945. The training program is designed to provide units with Combat Engineer Training in preparation for an operational role as Combat Engineers."

Found on the passenger list of RE 7342-G (Unit Ship Number), which sailed from Camp Lucky Strike. He was a member of Company M. 254th Infantry Regiment; Mulgrew, Allan J. PFC, ASR: 86, ASN: 31084036, Arm or Service: CE, [combat engineer], MOS: 121 [utility repairman]
- Camp Lucky Strike was situated in the town of Saint-Sylvian, 5 kilometers from Saint-Valery-en Caux, France. Its location was not selected by chance, but rather because the occupying German troops had constructed an airfield there in 1940 with a landing strip 1800 meters long and 50 meters wide. This airfield was one of the defensive elements of the Atlantic Wall: surveillance and coastal defenses were also a perfect starting point for attacks on southwest England. V-1 rocket launching ramps were installed at the beginning of 1944 in the woods surrounding the airfield. It was heavily bombed by the British throughout the war, but especially during the fighting which followed the June 1944 landings. In September 1944 American Engineer Corps troops took control of the area, repairing the landing strips and constructing the camp.
The camp became the most important military camp in Europe. It extended over 600 hectares (1 hectare = approximately 2 ½ acres). It was a mandatory port of entry for practically every American soldier, and 1½ million spent from a couple days up to 18 months there. It was the principal camp used for repatriated soldiers and liberated POWs, but also as a reception station for soldiers on leave. It was also a staging area for the Pacific Theater and - until August 10, 1945 - for the invasion of Japan. There were 100,000 men in the camp each day - 100,000 men to lodge, feed, train, and entertain. (Regarding repatriation, there were 6,000 daily departures by plane or boat from Le Havre, the only port liberated on the western coast that could accommodate large ships.) The first American troops arrived around Christmas 1944. They consisted of engineer units. Camp Lucky Strike was also made up of several satellite camps in the neighboring countryside. Camp Lucky Strike remained active until the end of 1945, and was officially closed in 1946.
The camp was like a U.S. town with theaters, hospitals, a PX, and gift shops, and it mainly consisted of more than 12,000 tents. (At times, more than 100,000 U.S. soldiers stayed there.) Most of the liberated American POW’s went through Lucky Strike on their way home to the United States. After the unconditional surrender of Germany, the camp was used to return troops to the USA via Le Havre.

NEW PORT RICHEY - A New Port Richey woman was killed Wednesday afternoon in a two-vehicle accident on Regency Park Boulevard, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Irma Golliff Melanson, 70, of 8225 Arevee Drive, Lot 356, was driving her 1981 white Ford Granada station wagon out of the Carlton Arms apartments about a half mile south of Orchid Lake Road at 3:10 p.m. when she attempted to turn left onto Regency Park, Trooper Steve D. Wheeler said.
Mrs. Melanson's car was struck by a 1977 brown Ford pickup truck being driven northbound by Mark Arthur Kolling, 26, of 9806 Middlecoff Drive in New Port Richey. Kolling's truck hit Mrs. Melanson at the driver's side door and spun the car around. Both cars came to a stop in the middle of the road. A helicopter from Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg flew to the accident scene and was prepared to take Mrs. Melanson to that hospital. But because of the seriousness of her injuries, Mrs. Melanson was treated at the scene by paramedics before she was taken to Riverside Hospital in New Port Richey, Wheeler said. Mrs. Melanson was pronounced dead at the hospital at 4:38 p.m. Wheeler said she was wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident. A neighbor of Mrs. Melanson said she had been visiting some friends in Carlton Arms and was on her way home when the accident happened.
A news release issued by the Highway Patrol on Wednesday night said that Mrs. Melanson failed to yield the right of way and that the accident was alcohol related. No charges have been filed.
Kolling also was treated at the scene for injuries to his wrists and neck. He was treated and released from HCA Bayonet Point/Hudson Medical Center. Kolling was not wearing his seat belt.
The accident closed Regency Park Boulevard for about an hour.
