Excellent stuff, Rick. My dad was in Company B of the 344th. For those interested, I found another son of a Company B man who sold me a CD with images from a daily WWII journal kept by the father during his entire time overseas with 344th. Besides written entries, the journal also features several notebooks of photos that include captions. Although affiliated with Company B, the journal keeper served with the 344th's medical detachment, which put him in contact with men from every company of the regiment. I found this CD to be an excellent resource for 344th activities, as well as personal perspective from the journal keeper.
