Thank you for posting Kaoschallenged. My uncle served in the 75th as a radioman. He was wounded in late December/early January (the family received the telegram that he had been wounded on my Mother's birthday January 20) by a mortar shell that killed another GI in his foxhole and severed the hand of a third soldier. Uncle Larry spent the next year in Army hospitals. He enlisted just after graduating from HS in 1944, giving up a scholarship to Cornell (quite a feat in those days for a child of immigrants). He was 18 when he was wounded. Lest we forget. |
