How about a few things you remember,like

The large over coats with large collars

The shoes, they never wear out

The little cap you hung over your belt, what was that called

The K-rations, candy would never melt

WHAT ELSE

  A great quote regarding the 87th Inf Div
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 01-14-2005, 11:25 PM - Forum: ANYTHING WWII - No Replies


Here's something that Jim and I would like to share with everyone regarding the great 87th. This quote is from a manuscript written by the commander of the Wehrmacht Fuehrer-Begleit-Brigade General Ernst Remer about the Battle of the Bulge and the actions of 5 January 1945:

 

"....In this connection, it must be said that the enemy forces (in this case, the 87 Inf Div (US) fought very skillfully, as far as infantry was concerned. It was the only force for which we had respect, even during the night."

 

I added this to his Memories of James Hennessey

Thank you wranglerowner for granting me permission to use this. ^_^
