Hello r/AskHistorians,
Today I was talking to my great grandmother for the first time is almost a year, and with all of the celebration of veterans going around on this great day I wanted to ask her about my great grandfather, who Ive been told served in "Darby's Rangers."
Upon doing some research and talking to her it seems that he served in the 3rd rangers battalion, does anyone know where I can find combat records of what he did, I know that he survived, however almost all but one other (according to ggmother) person in his group.
Thanks! Edit: his name was Elmer J. Montee
