Great Response to my Notice. WE the 48th went into Red Beach with the 142 Inf, Regt. Co. B 48 was a part of the Shore Detail with a Navy Unit, H Hour. Prior to invasion WE were trained with the 540 Shore Engineers, Marions Dads Unit. It was all over by nightfall, the next day WE started our trek north. My Mess Sergeant lifted 1 ton of flour from a badly guarded QM Depot. WE had hot fresh bread for a month.
