My profound sympathies go out to you over the passing away of Donald W. Barclay, Sr. It is obvious he was a fine man and soldier. I came to know of your loss through Military Rails Online. My late father, Charles H Barney was also a member of the 752nd Railway Operating Batallion. Their tours of duty in Europe are, at times, identical. My father would be 97 years old. It is more than likely they knew one another. They were indeed, representatives of The Greatest Generation, the likes of which we will never see again. I am truly sorry for your loss.
