Vet recalls intense fighting in Italy
#5

My recent library addition is a unit history entitled "History of the 363rd Infantry Regiment" by Strootman. This is a nice book with good details and a roster of the soldiers in the Regiment and associated 347 Field Artillery Battalion, Co C of 316 Engineer Battalion and Co C of 316 Medical Battalion.

I searched thru the pages of the roster for Pfc Newman Hodgson (mentioned in the Texarkana article) and had no luck finding his name. I just wanted to check his company and see if he was awarded any decorations.

In the article, it refers to "363rd Battalion" and a little further down to his battalion's casualties. It is a little confusing if he is referring to a battalion size unit or a Regiment. One of the 3 regiments of the 91st Division was the 363rd Infantry Regiment.

Also, the commander of the Regiment was Col. W. Fulton Magill, Jr., who wrote an intro for this unit history book. Not McGill.

 

I emailed the reporter who interviewed him asking if I could contact him. But have yet to receive an answer.
