Black Panther Div History

Hi Vets
My names Jim Leggett and past sr Vice Comm of the Local DAV Chapter in this area, having served during the Korean War.
My brother was a WW II Vet, having taken his basic training in Camp Robinson, Ark. I have his group picture dated Dec 1943.His unit was 1st Bn Hq Co. of the 263 Inf Panther Division.
Gerald never talked much of his military service. Since he passed away in 1995, I have been trying to piece together his service record and find out a little about the unit, he served with.I do know that he was in England for a short period and later went in to France from the south.Is there anyone out there that knows anything about his units mil. history?Thanks in advanceJim of Upstate NY
