(-) minus sign behind a unit name indicates that part of the unit was elsewhere.
Counties are mentioned as the so called pre-1974 British counties. The map co-ordinates are automatically made with Google Maps. If you have a more accurate location, photos, stories or links, please sent your information to Back to Normandy. The unit is also know as member of the US Army, Army Air Force. In this period, around this date of 22 augustus 1944 the 904 Ordnance Heavy Automotive Maintenance Company were here in Tidworth, Wiltshire.

The original station list was obtained from the National Archives & Records Administration (NARA) at College Park, Maryland. The NARA describe it as HQ/ETO Station List, 4/30/44 and reference Box 15, 270/48/32/2. In the European and Mediterranean theater the US Army had 3.5 million troops there. About 1.7 million were combat troops and around 700.000 were service troops along with 592.000 army air force troops and the rest were replacements, patients, overhead and staff. The correct count of support- and line troops in this context is difficult.

MY FATHER PASSED AWAY IN 1999, HE WAS IN THE 904TH ORDANCE H.A.M. AND WE HAD ALWAYS HEARD HE WAS AT NORMANDY D-DAY +3 BUT I AM TRYING TO DO RESEACH TO LEARN MORE. HE NEVER TALKED TO HIS CHILDREN MUCH ABOUT WHAT IT WAS LIKE BUT I KNOW HE LOVED HIS FELLOW SOLDIERS, EVERY YEAR WHILE HE WAS WELL ENOUGH HE WOULD GO TO REUNIONS OF THE COMPANY HE SERVED IN. HIS NAME WAS CHARLES L. HAWN, I BELIEVE HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CORPORAL. ANY INFORMATION YOU WOULD HAVE WOULD BE LOVELY.
