Biography coming soon.
Hi Geoffrey, in doing research, I came across Walter Shamray. Evidently Robert Pounders knew him and found out that he spent 22 years in the army. Does he have any connection with the scouts and snipers? I didn’t see him listed with the names that you gave me in that platoon. is there any information you can give me?
