Manhay 1944

I included a photo of the Manhay crossroads.  The first house (that was situated at the corner with the road to Vaux-Chavanne) on the left, was the CP of Col. Paxton in Manhay. The house next to, was your aid station. Do you recognize these two buildings ?  In your souvenirs, you remember of an old lady that stayed in Manhay during the battle. The only civilian people in the village.

Next to, I included another photo that was taken to the 30th December 1944 in Manhay. You can see an old lady on a stretcher. She was probably evacuated by your troops.

What do you think about the photos ?

Can you tell me if it is possible that these three Gi's are from 517th ? I think so!  Maybe that we will found the names of these three soldiers...

Very sincerely with all best wishes from your friend from Manhay.
