Ben, with your help and that of Wayne Cross we may get the exciting story of E Company night crossing the Var River and capture of the town of LaRoquette France.

Wayne:

Got it. Thanks. I was not in the 517th. My 'stone age' wartime was with the 11th Abn in the Pacific. I had the honor of serving with Gen Seitz much later in DCSPER.

If you send me your snail mail, I'll ensure you get a copy of the issue of The Airborne Quarterly in which I'll publish the monograph. Check out our website: www.AmericanAirborneAssn.org

Airborne!

Ben,
picture of Sospel the 28th October 1944 with company F entering in Sospel with the help of young guys of Sospel.
and picture of sospel the 5th of October 2008.

On of this guy called Emile LAVEDER (24 years old in 1944) was with us the 5th of October in Sospel.
You can watch the picture included : he is with Roland.
He was so happy to revive it 64 years later with young men dressed and armed like you were.

Do you know the names of soldiers of this company who should be on this picture ?

with all our love to all of you
