…and a bad time was had by all.
Uncle B's company was indeed in the 1st Infantry Division's bailiwick at that moment, due to another one of those regimental "swaps" that became so common in the Fall of 1944. Having been briefly put into Bn reserve (I believe at the east edge of Weisweiler) after being repulsed in the attempt on the castle yesterday, Co. E, 2/47 will be sent towards Die Berg Frenz late today, and will be part of the fight there until the anticlimax on the 28th.

and a bad time was had by all. ............ I was in the Huertgen Forest this past year. The terrain was miserable, I could see why we had heavy losses. After our forces left it in 44 they left mostly tree stumps. There is a small museum there, but nothing supper special about it. Lots of battle field relics and the usual uniformed mannikins. There is also a Hospital Bunker still intact, it now serves as the base (foundation?) for a home there. (Seen by appointment only)
