Hello
I would like to know additional details about the
battles of la Roquette, and the battle of St Cezaire,
where I company had to climb up a steep hill into the
village, and several troopers were killed. If any of
the veterans (except Gene Brissey, who I already had
contact with several times) who read mail call could
write about their personal souvenirs of these two
battles, I would be very grateful.

Ben, the Christmas card Jay Sutcliffe sent in on mail call is just like the one I have that my Dad sent home to his parents.   I believe it is from Christmas 1943, Camp MacKall?  Do others have or remember this card?  Who designed it and made it available for the troopers.  It would be interesting to know the background.
