My brother-in-law, Clifford Dirks was in the 540th Engineers, Company E, Second Batallion. He made several beach landings including Anzio. He passed away a few years ago and I'm trying to get more information about his military service. I have a story written by him describing a horific tale of being mistaken for a German spy and being sent to an American POW camp on the island of Corsica near the town of Ajaccio.
If anyone has any information about Private (later Corporal) Clifford Dirks please contact me.
