After reading all of the above. If my "memory", serves me right I think I
was in that same convoy. I don't know what troopship I was on but it was
all men. and our ship landed in Oran, No. Africa. 14 days at sea. Was in
Oran two or three days then someof us were sent to where the 34th
Divn. was. as replacements. (combat infantry.). I do remember arriving
in No. Africa in the middle of March. 64 years ago today we were at
Cassino. The media was focused in the Pacific then. Every day I give
thanks to the LORD for bringing me back.
