Pvt. Walter W. Pilon
US Army Coy. I, 174th Infantry Regiment 27th Infantry Division
from:Olean, New York
Walter Pilon was a POW in Stalag 7B in Memmingen, Bavaria. By a strange coincidence, Memmingen is located about 30 kilometers from the village where our great-great-grandfather was born and raised (in addition to about 300 years of previous ancestors). The town today has only about 2,000 people and almost all of them have a link, one way or another, to each other and to our families.
