Although it is a long read, I recommend the Bergstein report flagged in this Mail Call (1709) to anyone interested in knowing what the combat team endured at the end of the Bulge. Although it is slanted toward the 3rd Bn., it is a good picture of the efforts of the whole combat team and our condition after many attacks in the Bulge and this "diversionary" attack in Germany. It will leave you with the understanding that those who survived were well disciplined and fortunate, indeed. Howard Hensleigh

Ben,
Just talked
with Debi on Friday. What a wonderful person and her desire to help plan
and prepare the Salt Lake City Reunion. I also found out her father Bob
West was in Headquarters Company with my Dad in 1st Battalion. What a
small world. Along with Mike Wells, son of Chester Wells, H Company, Debi,
and me we should have one of the best reunions ever. I hope all can plan
to attend. There are a lot of fun things to do here. I will be
giving you more information as I get it.
Lory Curtis, son of Bud
Curtis, HQ, 1st Bn

"Our citizens can now rejoice that a momentous victory is in
the making. Perhaps we will be forgiven if we claim we are about midway to
our objective."
