Grandpa served as forward scout for 774th Field Artillery Battalion, which I think was under the 9th Army. He was in Holland, France, Germany and Italy and fought at the Bulge. He was 19 when he was drafted and I laughed when Grandma told me how surprised they were that he was drafted because they (she and Grandpa) thought he was too old to be included in those who were drafted.
