I never realized that there were so many Americans killed there.
My bro.-in-law was one of the lucky ones who came back.
He served in the motor pool.
Became an NYC cabbie for forty years.
They were there until the May breakout. Just about every square yard of the lodgement could be hit by German artillery. The Germans made a couple of attempts to crush the lodgement. Note that British and some Canadian troops were in the lodgement as well.
James Arness was also a survivor although wounded.
