I seemed to have gotten in on the last of this thread.What caught my interest is that several years ago I bought the book,

WORLD WAR II INFANTRY SOLDIER

The horror endured by a U.S.Infantryman by,W.Y.Boyd

50th anniversary Collector's editions

It is a true story about a soldier just out of bootcamp thrown into the battle at Alsace as a replacement in the 555th Infantry Reginment. Its a personal story about his combat experiences from there till the end of the war.

I have read the book several times and its an inspiring story.

Mr Boyd,if you lurk this site I really loved your book!

You, fellow FReeper, would have been right at home in my grandmother's kitchen!!

Thanks for the lead on that book. I'm always interested in reading first hand accounts.
