The 87th Inf.Div. sailed to Europe on the Queen Elizabeth 1. I felt great being on such a large ship.That is till we embarked in Scotland and found out QE1 was the number 1 target of the German U-Boats. Then the Luck of the Irish set in. Thank You God.
My heart and prayers go out to those who lost their lives in these crossings. They sure were amongst our bravests. Rest In Peace.
