Field Artiller Batallion. I attended a reunion of my dad’s division several years back. There were only 8 guys there. One of them gave me a history of the 760th. Apparently a number of divisions were brought together to form a bigger division called the 99th? A woman sent me a history of the 99th several years ago. I hope I can find it. Forgive me, I’m not very good at military terminology, being an aging female! This larger division was the one that entered the Philippines at the northern end and was in battle for several months as it fought it’s way down to Manila.
