addendum to the 540th's History - book not well liked
#2

Marion, 


I enjoyed reading Mr. Herron's addendum.  I think it was common occurrence for those in Headquarters and H&S to write these histories (they would have had access to typewriters and other equipment not to mention the documents of the outfit).  Unfortunately, they of coarse had completely different experiences from those in the line companies.   


I have had some veterans tell me that even when reading the After Action Reports for their outfit, they thought it made it seem like they were a bunch of boy scouts.
