CONNECTICUT MEN
of the United States Army
Demobilization, Fort Devens, Massachusetts
October 16 to 18, 1945 STATE OF CONNECTICUT EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS HARTFORD
To Connecticut Veterans of World War II:
Connecticut men have written brilliant pages in the . military history of this nation since the days of Bunker Hill. Indeed, in days of peace Connecticut men prepared for war so well that they always have been among the first to fight.
In this, the greatest of all wars just ended, you, as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully maintained
that tradition. In fact, you have raised it to new heights. You have added to the enduring list of victories, immortal names — Rendova Island, Kasarine Pass, Munda, Sicily, Weewak, Cassino, Luzon, Anzio, Normandy, the Ardennes Bulge, and more•
Chance and talents assigned many of you to tasks along the supply routes, in hospitals and at bases, or to toil and sweat in such places as the Lido Road and along the Persian Gulf. All these made victory possible. Connecticut men, too, played a glorious role in that part of the victory which is credited in the ledgers of history for the Air Force.
Your fellow citizens in Connecticut are highly proud of your service. And they are very, very grateful.
Yours very sincerely,
Governor
HERE ARE THEIR STORIES
War correspondents of World War II frequently embellished and often overwrote the action stories of modest soldiers- The aggregate result pleased editors, made headlines, and, on occasion, embarrassed the soldiers. In retaliation, the correspondents and their victims were labelled, in characteristic G. I. language, " Joe Blow". Actually, the " Joe Blows" were few and far between in this Army. The purpose of these stories is to record without embellishment, the mood, the impressions, the exciting events, of the worst and best of the great days, before time blurs memories with resulting confusion as to events, dates and places. These are soldiers' stories, here recorded as near verbatim as possible in soldiers' words — The Editor.
Azary, John G., Pvt., 192d F. A. Bn., 43d Div., South Norwalk.
" After spending three years in the Pacific, the States— especially New England—
seem almost too good to be true. I served as an observer in a machine gun company, and I made most of the campaigns.
The whole New Georgia campaign was tough; with the Japs, the weather and the climate all acting against us. Many of my friends were lost there and many more were wounded. It was touch and go all of the time. I'll be glad to get back in civilian clothes."
Boucher, Stephen F., Jr., T/ 5, Hq., 273d Regt,, 69th Div., Bridgeport.
" I was with the regimental intelligence and reconnaissance unit, and we were the first to meet up with the Russians. We linked up with them on the Elbe River, at Torgau. After the German surrender, I was transferred to the 29th and did occupation
work at Bremerhaven. Before going to Europe for 11 months, I had 18 months in the Pacific, being stationed at Hawaii with the 232d Ordnance Bomb Disposal."
Bowen, Leslie T., Pfc, 29th Inf. Div., Waterbury.
" I was with the combat medics as an ambulance driver and served all through France, Belgium and Germany. My last station was at Bremerhaven, Germany. The Europeans, that is those that I met, were very friendly to all Americans. They seemed to want to go out of their way to please. They were awed by the affluence of the American soldier and also by his
generosity. One of our hospitals to which I carried patients was located in a farm section in Belgium, and it was nothing to see a whole family, right down to the smallest kid that could walk, working in the fields. Their methods were pretty primitive. Waterbury is going to look good to me."
Bremner, Robert C., T/ 5, 1st Bn., 32d Regt., 3d Armd. Div., Washington Depot.
" The Germans gave us some of our hardest fighting near the Ruhr River, where they fought with the greatest stubbornness. I was wounded during the hedgerow fighting in Normandy, getting hit on the right wrist by a shell fragment. I had it treated and stayed at my job. We were all the way to the Elbe, at Dessau, when the war ended."
Butler, Raymond M., Pfc, Co. G., 1st Bn., 32d Regt,, 3d Armd. Div., Hartford.
" I was a radio operator and loader in a medium tank company. I was in two tanks that were knocked out, one in France, near St. Lo, and the other in Germany. When the second one was hit I was wounded
in the arm and leg and was laid up for six months. But maybe I was lucky, because
then I missed the Bulge and that cold winter campaign."
Carter, Harry H., 1st/ Sgt., 255th F. A., 3d Army, Bridgeport.
" We hooked up with the Russians at Linz. They are rough, tough fighters. I was overseas for 18 months serving as a battery commander in a 105 outfit. Our
3
work was mostly reconnaissance and we were not only in the foreground but also in the thick of the fighting. Of course, I'm glad to be back."
Cascagne, Anthony, Cpl., Co. D., 1st Bn., 116th Regt., 29th Div., New Haven.
" I was out in a minefield near St. Lo when a mortar shell fragment hit me in the right leg. I was laid up for three months. We had some rugged combat at St. Lo and Vire, about the hardest that I saw during 28 months overseas."
Catalano, Michael A., Sgt., Co. I., 3d Bn., 310th Regt., 78th Div., New Haven.
" It was good news to me when the Japs surrendered, because we were scheduled to be redeployed to the Pacific theater. I was leader of a 60mm mortar squad, and we kept these mortar tubes hot throwing shells at the Germans. When I came home for discharge, my old outfit was in Berlin; it's a great division."
Chevarella, Joseph P., Cpl., 460th A. A. Bn., V Corps Artillery, Derby.
" At Eupen, Belgium, the Germans tried the buzzbomb against us, and it was some weapon. They also bombed and strafed us, and hit us with artillery, mortars and everything else. But it was at Eupen that our outfit downed more German planes than anywhere else. We were really knocking
them down there as they came in to strafe and bomb and divebomb. It gave us a thrill to see these Jerries go down."
Coppola, Louis J., Cpl., Co. F., 2d Bn., 15th Regt., 3d Div., Stamford.
" I had quite a time cf it during 30 months over there, being wounded three times and once being captured by the Germans. At Anzio, on D- Day, I was hit by shrapnel near the left eye. Then, just two days before we entered Rome I was hit again. I was wounded a third time after we landed in Southern France. In Sicily the Germans captured three other
soldiers and myself and kept us in a cave for two days. During a heavy bombardment
we escaped when our guards were killed or wounded. I had 30 months overseas,
most of it with the 3d Division, but I also had some time with the 9th Division. After my experiences, I'll welcome the quiet life from now on."
Courtois, Marcel J., Cpl., 100th Chem. Bn., ( Sep.), Plainfield.
" The most lasting impression I will retain of 29 months in the MTO is of a German air raid on Naples harbor while we were still aboard ship. We were making preparations to leave the ship when the air raid alarms sounded. The Jerries came over in waves and dropped their bombs all around us. At the height of the raid, a brilliant, bright light far off lit up the sky. It was Mt. Vesuvius erupting. I'll never forget one colored soldier yelling, ' Look at the guy with all his lights on.' He thought it was a German plane. It's funny now, but it wasn't so funny then."
Distefano, Sylvia O., T/ 5, 103d A. A. Bn., 1st Div., Waterbury.
" I was wounded at the Rhine, during the crossing at Remagen Bridge. A piece of shrapnel hit me in the head but after I had first aid I kept on going with my outfit. We got our biggest number of enemy planes after we crossed into Germany, shooting down a flock of them. I had a lot of travel during two and a half years overseas, being in Tunisia, Sicily, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia and Germany. We were with a great outfit
and I'll always remember it."
Frazio, Frank S., Pfc, 100th Chem. Mortar Bn., 5th Army, Waterbury.
" I spent 9 weeks in a hospital in Italy and it was cold even there. The closest call I ever had was one day when I was going for water. I was almost to the well when a mortar shell hit it. I dove for a ditch and
4
was holed up there for half an hour. The shells really flew thick and fast. When I got back to my gun post, we went to work and not only knocked out the mortar but also a machine gun nest and a lookout tower. We did quite a job that day."
Flynn, Thomas D., Pfc, Co. H., 91st Div., Bridgeport.
" I think that the Gothic line campaign will live in my memory for a long time. It was hard going all of the time and the weather was the foulest that I have ever had to bear. It was cold and wet all of the time. I could never form much liking for Italy, but Austria is something different. It seemed to be much more prosperous and was far cleaner. We linked up with the Russians in Vienna. I had 21 months over there, and that is plenty."
Foberg, Robert G., Sgt., 409th Bmb. Grp., 641st Bmb. Sq., West Hartford.
" The English language sounds good to me, so I guess that is why I liked England better than France. I was a radar mechanic and am very high on the English radar navigational set. It was the best that I ever worked on. Our group at first had A- 20s and later on the new A- 26. Both of them are dandy planes. After the Germans were cleared out of the Paris area, we were based there. I got lots of hops, mostly in C- 47s."
Forman, Frank J., Cpl., Btry. A., 92d F. A., Chester.
" The unromantic but very necessary job of personnel clerk in charge of records was mine during my career overseas. I was in both the Mediterranean and European theatres. Of all the places I saw, I liked France best. The people were very friendly and Paris is a beautiful city. 1 got a lot of travel experience out of the Army, but from now on I guess I'll stay home and let it be a memory."
Garguild, Joseph L., Pfc, Btry. C, 173d F. A., East Haven.
" A shell, which proved to be a dud though we didn't realize it when it landed, came right through our camouflage net one day and gave me the greatest scare of my Army career. This happened in Italy where I spent 27 months that I didn't enjoy one bit. I was a cannoneer, number- one man, in a medium field artillery crew. Our crew made all of the Italian campaigns. That discharge button is really going to look good on my coat."
Garrison, Weyand E., Pfc, 894th Air Engr., 9th Air Force, Manchester.
" Our job was repairing and maintaining P- 47s. I spent two years in the ETO and haven't anything good to say about it. I thought the French were very mercenary. I'm happy about getting out. It will be good to be a civilian again."
Gelinas, William J., T/ 4, 142d Sig. Co., 2d Armd. Div., Willimantic
" Many times in France our division was moving ahead so fast that we had quite a job keeping signal communications up with them. In 34 months over there I had six campaigns, from Africa up through Sicily and into France. I saw enough of the world; now I want to see home."
Gillman, Raymond L., S/ Sgt., 15th Air Force, West Hartford.
" Crossing the Adriatic with two engines out was the closest call I ever had. I was a gunner, right waist, in the 49th Bomb Squadron, 2d Bomb Group ( H). We set out early in the morning on the Vipitino raid. When we got over the target, flak and fighters hit us at the same time. We managed to get rid of the bombs while all of the time the fighters were attacking. Our pilot was hit and the co- pilot had to take over. Two engines and the hydraulic system were put out of commission, but
6
we managed to limp away. The flak had sounded like hail hitting the plane, and it had torn big holes in the wings and fuselage.
We got under cover of another formation
and got some protection while getting away. Coming back was tough. It looked so much like we would have to bail out that the warning bell to hit the silk found us all prepared. This order was not carried out but we did abandon all armament,
including guns, ammunition cans and flak suits in an effort to lighten the ship. We crossed the Adriatic at 1500 feet. We landed on the field on one flat tire, no hydraulic system and only two engines. There were 247 holes in the plane, but one week later it was back in commission. That was my worst day."
Giordano, James, Pfc, 777th Q. M. Bn. Service Force, East Norwalk.
" Thirty- nine months in an officer's paradise— Panama— and an enlisted man's hell is enough for me. I never took a furlough
down there for there wasn't any place to go. I'm one guy who is really glad to get back to civilian days for the Army life wasn't made for me."
Giordano, Michael J., Pvt., 1903d Bn., Av. Engr., Stamford.
" The best deal that I ever got in the Army was when I was sent to Atlantic City on rotation after spending 18 months in Panama. Boy, how good that place looked! Shortly afterwards, I was redeployed
to the Pacific. That wasn't so good. Our job was to build and repair airfields. I was stationed at Ie- Shima when the planes carrying the Jap surrender party to the Philippines stopped to refuel. Those Japs were the only ones who ever looked good to me. I'm one guy who will know how to appreciate civilian life."
Gleason, William J., Pfc, 9th Air Force, Waterbury.
" I was a turret and gunsight specialist
in the 391st Bomb Group, 573d Bomb Squadron. My duties were to do maintenance
work. I made no combat missions. I was in the ETO for 24 months, being stationed in England, France and Belgium. Our squad did some mighty effective bombing. The part of the Army that I liked best is this part— getting out."
Gombatz, William F., T/ 5, Div. Hq., 3d Armd. Div., Plainville.
" The civilians in Belgium gave us the greatest welcome we received anywhere. At Mons and Liege there were thousands of them in the streets, yelling and cheering. They loaded us with flowers, wine and any other gifts they had. To take Mons we hit the Germans so hard and so fast that they didn't know what was going on, and our outfit got the Presidential Citation for it."
Iannucci, Joseph A., S/ Sgt., Co. B., 1st Bn., 116th Regt., 29th Div., Bridgeport.
" I was a squad leader and going across Europe from Normandy we took some very heavy casualties. My 13- man squad must have had at least three or four full sets of new men to replace those killed and wounded. I was hit myself once, in the right arm, but was out of action only a few hours. The hardest fighting we met was at Settich, Germany, where the Krauts fought terrifically. After the end of the war, we served as occupation troops at Bremerhaven, and the civilians gave us no trouble at all."
Kaicher, William D., Sgt., 8th Air Force, Bristol.
" I was a parachute man in the 557th Bomb Squadron, 387th Bomb Group. Ours was a B- 26 group. We were first stationed at Rumford, about 20 miles north of London. On two different occasions,
I was in town when the base was heavily bombed by German planes. After D- Day, we were shipped to France to a base near Paris. We were sent to Holland later on, and I was stationed there when the war ended. Of all the places I saw over there, I liked Paris best."
Karpuc, Albin B., Pfc, 29th Inf. Div., Norwich.
" I got hit at Vire, France, by a mortar shell. I got out of the hospital later on and joined my old outfit. The toughest fight we ever had was taking Waltrup, Germany.
The Krauts gave us everything they had in that fight. After the war, I got a good chance to look around. That is nice looking country over there but I will settle for Norwich any day. I'm really glad to get back."
Kloskowski, Walter F., T/ 5, 195th A. A. A. Bn., 2d Armd. Div., New Britain.
" Being attached to combat medics, I was under fire all of the time. But so were all the combat medics. We made all of the campaigns in the ETO, and I can't remember one that wasn't tough. I guess the proudest day of my life came at Munchcn- Gladbach, Germany, when a French general decorated me and two of my buddies with the Croix de Guerre, 2d Order. I got mine for administering first aid, under artillery fire, to three wounded soldiers. But I was always doing that, and it seemed unremarkable to me. But I guess the bigwigs thought different. I've seen enough of war to last me the rest of my life."
Kozlowski, Raphael P., Cpl., 391st Arty. Regt., 3d Armd. Div., Torrington.
" The place we won't forget is Baterbon, Germany, where General Rose was killed. The Germans gave us a battle there and their Tiger tanks were mighty tough. During the hedgerow fighting in Normandy,
my tank was hit and we took some casualties. The Germans had us zeroed in and I stayed there firing from the tank. Later they gave me the Bronze Star for that."
Krupski, Joseph T., Pfc, Btry. C, 434th F. A., 7th Armd. Div., Bridgeport.
" We were with the British Second Army at the Bulge, and we had more than a fair share of combat. We were in four campaigns
across Europe and were in Halle, Germany, when the Nazis decided it was time to surrender. None of us will ever forget the Bulge."
Lapinsky, Alexander E., Pfc, 23d Engr., 3d Armd. Div., Bridgeport.
" We were both engineers and infantrymen
through five campaigns. In the Hertgen Forest we had our work cut out for us, doing engineering through snow and rain in mountainous country, and with the Germans shelling us. The Ardennes was no picnic either. I landed with the 4th Division and stayed with them till Cherbourg, then joined the 9th Division and stayed with them till Hertgen. After that I was with the 3d Armored the rest of the way. I had a long 35 months overseas and I'm certainly glad to be home."
Lipinski, Henry L., S/ Sgt., Armd. Veh. Maint. Bn., 3d Army, Torrington.
" The enemy artillery fire was very heavy at Brest where we spearheaded the attack. Our job was to smash pockets where German gun positions were located. While we were at Avaranches, we took quite a pasting both from German planes and artillery. Crossing the Rhine was no picnic, but I don't think that it was as tough as Brest. I liked Luxembourg best of the places I have been. The people there were very friendly."
Luca, George J., T/ 4, 142d Sig. Co., 2d Armd. Div., East Morris.
" The 2d Armored spearheaded the invasion
of Belgium and the government there gave us the fourragere, the first time it had been awarded to any foreign unit. We're mighty proud to wear it. We had
1 0
lots of bad moments during my 34 months overseas, but from the Ruhr River on was probably the hardest, with the Germans fighting more ferociously than ever."
Mooney, Richard J., Pfc, 121st Engr., ( Sep.), Hartford.
" Move in! Move in! That's about the only impression I have left, and I guess that it will stick with me for a long time. The words are all I can remember about our landing at Omaha Beach on D- Day. The rest is all chaotic in my mind, and even now I cannot piece it together. It's funny how a command like that will stick and the rest be forgotten. I made all the campaigns in Europe and I don't want to do any of them again. I'm going to live a nice, peaceful life."
Murray, John J., Cpl., 2d Armd. Div., Arty. Hq., Hartford.
" Africa, England, France, Holland, Belgium and Germany— sounds like a travelogue, doesn't it? But those were the places I saw during 30 months overseas. I was a forward observer and gunner, working out of message center. I decoded and deciphered messages which gave information
as to where we should concentrate
our fire. My closest call came when a German shell landed a couple of yards from our gun position. Luckily, it was a dud. I am going to make application for AMG. I would like to go to Frankfort, Germany."
Nielson, Donald E., Pvt., 54th F. A. Bn., 3d Armd. Div., Plainville.
" In Germany I picked up a wonderful dog, one of the SS guard dogs. A fellow in the Merchant Marine is supposed to bring him to me in this country and I'll make a good American dog out of him. He's a fine animal. In Europe our outfit had self- propelled 105s and the Krauts didn't like them a bit. Some of the prisoners
said our fire was so heavy that they thought we had some kind of automatic artillery." Pannone, Raymond R., S/ Sgt., 12th Air Force, Hamden.
" The MTO was my home for 31 months. I was a photo lab chief in the 379th Bomb Squadron of the 310th Bomb Group. At various times we were stationed in Casablanca, Tunis, Libya, Corsica and Italy. My duties were to develop bomb strike photos, and I really worked on some beauts. Some of the hits our guys made were remarkable. At one time, we had three of the Doolittle Tokyo raid pilots in our squad. They were hot pilots. Northern Italy was the best of all the places where I was stationed."
Platkiewicz, John J., T/ 4, 85th Cav. Ren., 5th Armd. Div., Bridgeport.
" I was a tank driver and I kept my tank in steady operation through nine straight months of combat. Maybe that's some kind of a record. My tank was right in there all the time, but it wasn't hit by anything big. We did our heaviest firing at the Belgian- German border."
Raftery, James P., Pfc, 1st Bn., 311th Regt., 78th Div., West Hartford.
" To my way of thinking, Germany was the best country we saw in Europe. Everything
seemed well kept- up, and the people didn't bother us at all. I was with the Air Force in this country, then was transferred to the infantry and spent a year overseas, taking part in three campaigns."
Richmond, Henry B., Pfc, Co. H., 328th Inf., 26th Div., Hartford.
" I'm from the best outfit in the world— the Yankee Division. We're the guys who stopped them at the Bulge. I landed in France as a machine gunner and was in all the battles except D- Day. I was wounded twice— at Monicourt Woods, France, and at Saarlautern, Germany. For some time I was attached to Military Intelligence where I interviewed POWs. Most of the prisoners were glad to be captured by the
Yanks and were glad to be out of the war. Some of them, especially the kids who were schooled in the Nazi doctrine, were real fanatics. I was in Czechoslovakia when the war ended. There, the people begged to be taken rather than fail into the hands of the Russians."
Rowe, Robert W., S/ Sgt., 2d Bn., 349th Inf., 88th Div., Norwalk.
" The most vivid experience that I had in the war occurred in Italy. I was battalion
supply sergeant and had charge of hauling supplies to the outfit. We had to use mule teams over the mountains in Italy. We set out one night and were plodding along minding our own business when we ran into the best ambush that you ever saw. We were holed up for two of the longest hours of my life. We were rescued by another mule train that was heavily guarded. I did not like Italy but found Austria okay."
Rozycki, Stanley M., M/ Sgt., 15th Air Force, Naugatuck.
" I made one combat flight while overseas.
I was crew chief of a B- 24 named ' Knockout', and, on the ship's 100th mission, I was aboard. The trip was supposed
to be a milk- run so I felt perfectly safe. The target was Vienna and when our formation got there, the flak was almost heavy enough to walk on. It was really rough, and that was my first and last combat flight. My ship had, in all, 147 sorties to its credit, and also 3 enemy fighter
planes. That's about tops for a Lib. The Air Force did a whale of a job."
Shulick, Albert, Sgt., Trp. B., 85th Cav. Ren., 5th Armd. Div., Stratford.
" Ours was the first outfit to move into Germany, going into Wallendorf on September 11, 1944. We had some of our worst fighting to get in there; though the Hertgen Forest was also among our hardest. After five campaigns and 20
1 2
months overseas, I'm ready for all the quiet life that Connecticut has to offer."
Skelly, John S., Jr., Pvt., 29th Cmbt. Engr. Co., 121st Engr., Hartford.
" How would you like to see three of your buddies killed by a war weapon after the war was over? That's what I saw, and it is something that I will not forget in a hurry. Our job was to detect land mines. V- E Day did not stop our work, for the Germans had planted plenty of them and we had to dig them out. This day, we had picked up quite a few and had loaded them on a truck. Through some mishap, one of the mines fell off and exploded and set off the rest of them. The truck and its three passengers were blown to bits. It was a tough thing to see and also a tough thing to remember."
Urbanowicz, John A., Sgt., Co. L., 47th Regt., 9th Div., New Britain.
" While we were in the harbor at Palermo preparatory to making a landing, German planes came over and dropped their bombs all around us. We were down in the hold and though we did not get hit, we got a real scare the way the boat was swaying from the concussions. I spent 30 months across as a rifleman and scout. I was in Walbach, Germany on V- E Day. I got one big beef about the food that we had on the boat coming home. Ours was lousy, while, as usual, the officers had all the best. We didn't even get sugar for the coffee."
Weinberg, Kurt, S/ Sgt., 6695th Hq. & Hq. Co., M. I. S., West Hartford.
" I came to the United States in August 1941 and was in the Army in March of ' 42. I made the D- Day landing in Sicily with the 45th Division. I also made Salerno D- Day plus one and Anzio D plus two. The latter two were by far the hardest. Being attached to Military Intelligence, I made all of the Sicilian and Italian
campaigns. My work was to interrogate prisoners, both Italian and German, to obtain information regarding battle orders, strength of positions, expected moves, locations of supply depots and armament factories. The work was highly interesting. We had our own methods of getting information
by skillful questioning and what we got was of inestimable value to the high command. The German was arrogant, but stupid, and we obtained our best information
from him. The Italian was voluble but, for the most part, unfamiliar with military matters. I liked Italy very much. I have no regrets for the time I spent in the Army, as I regard them as the most interesting of my life. I'm glad to have been able to serve for the United States."

| Title-Alternative | Connecticut men in World War II : Vol. 7 Army |
| Transcript | CONNECTICUT MEN of the United States Army Demobilization, Fort Devens, Massachusetts October 16 to 18, 1945 STATE OF CONNECTICUT EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS HARTFORD To Connecticut Veterans of World War II: Connecticut men have written brilliant pages in the . military history of this nation since the days of Bunker Hill. Indeed, in days of peace Connecticut men prepared for war so well that they always have been among the first to fight. In this, the greatest of all wars just ended, you, as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully maintained that tradition. In fact, you have raised it to new heights. You have added to the enduring list of victories, immortal names — Rendova Island, Kasarine Pass, Munda, Sicily, Weewak, Cassino, Luzon, Anzio, Normandy, the Ardennes Bulge, and more• Chance and talents assigned many of you to tasks along the supply routes, in hospitals and at bases, or to toil and sweat in such places as the Lido Road and along the Persian Gulf. All these made victory possible. Connecticut men, too, played a glorious role in that part of the victory which is credited in the ledgers of history for the Air Force. Your fellow citizens in Connecticut are highly proud of your service. And they are very, very grateful. Yours very sincerely, Governor HERE ARE THEIR STORIES War correspondents of World War II frequently embellished and often overwrote the action stories of modest soldiers- The aggregate result pleased editors, made headlines, and, on occasion, embarrassed the soldiers. In retaliation, the correspondents and their victims were labelled, in characteristic G. I. language, " Joe Blow". Actually, the " Joe Blows" were few and far between in this Army. The purpose of these stories is to record without embellishment, the mood, the impressions, the exciting events, of the worst and best of the great days, before time blurs memories with resulting confusion as to events, dates and places. These are soldiers' stories, here recorded as near verbatim as possible in soldiers' words — The Editor. Azary, John G., Pvt., 192d F. A. Bn., 43d Div., South Norwalk. " After spending three years in the Pacific, the States— especially New England— seem almost too good to be true. I served as an observer in a machine gun company, and I made most of the campaigns. The whole New Georgia campaign was tough; with the Japs, the weather and the climate all acting against us. Many of my friends were lost there and many more were wounded. It was touch and go all of the time. I'll be glad to get back in civilian clothes." Boucher, Stephen F., Jr., T/ 5, Hq., 273d Regt,, 69th Div., Bridgeport. " I was with the regimental intelligence and reconnaissance unit, and we were the first to meet up with the Russians. We linked up with them on the Elbe River, at Torgau. After the German surrender, I was transferred to the 29th and did occupation work at Bremerhaven. Before going to Europe for 11 months, I had 18 months in the Pacific, being stationed at Hawaii with the 232d Ordnance Bomb Disposal." Bowen, Leslie T., Pfc, 29th Inf. Div., Waterbury. " I was with the combat medics as an ambulance driver and served all through France, Belgium and Germany. My last station was at Bremerhaven, Germany. The Europeans, that is those that I met, were very friendly to all Americans. They seemed to want to go out of their way to please. They were awed by the affluence of the American soldier and also by his generosity. One of our hospitals to which I carried patients was located in a farm section in Belgium, and it was nothing to see a whole family, right down to the smallest kid that could walk, working in the fields. Their methods were pretty primitive. Waterbury is going to look good to me." Bremner, Robert C., T/ 5, 1st Bn., 32d Regt., 3d Armd. Div., Washington Depot. " The Germans gave us some of our hardest fighting near the Ruhr River, where they fought with the greatest stubbornness. I was wounded during the hedgerow fighting in Normandy, getting hit on the right wrist by a shell fragment. I had it treated and stayed at my job. We were all the way to the Elbe, at Dessau, when the war ended." Butler, Raymond M., Pfc, Co. G., 1st Bn., 32d Regt,, 3d Armd. Div., Hartford. " I was a radio operator and loader in a medium tank company. I was in two tanks that were knocked out, one in France, near St. Lo, and the other in Germany. When the second one was hit I was wounded in the arm and leg and was laid up for six months. But maybe I was lucky, because then I missed the Bulge and that cold winter campaign." Carter, Harry H., 1st/ Sgt., 255th F. A., 3d Army, Bridgeport. " We hooked up with the Russians at Linz. They are rough, tough fighters. I was overseas for 18 months serving as a battery commander in a 105 outfit. Our 3 work was mostly reconnaissance and we were not only in the foreground but also in the thick of the fighting. Of course, I'm glad to be back." Cascagne, Anthony, Cpl., Co. D., 1st Bn., 116th Regt., 29th Div., New Haven. " I was out in a minefield near St. Lo when a mortar shell fragment hit me in the right leg. I was laid up for three months. We had some rugged combat at St. Lo and Vire, about the hardest that I saw during 28 months overseas." Catalano, Michael A., Sgt., Co. I., 3d Bn., 310th Regt., 78th Div., New Haven. " It was good news to me when the Japs surrendered, because we were scheduled to be redeployed to the Pacific theater. I was leader of a 60mm mortar squad, and we kept these mortar tubes hot throwing shells at the Germans. When I came home for discharge, my old outfit was in Berlin; it's a great division." Chevarella, Joseph P., Cpl., 460th A. A. Bn., V Corps Artillery, Derby. " At Eupen, Belgium, the Germans tried the buzzbomb against us, and it was some weapon. They also bombed and strafed us, and hit us with artillery, mortars and everything else. But it was at Eupen that our outfit downed more German planes than anywhere else. We were really knocking them down there as they came in to strafe and bomb and divebomb. It gave us a thrill to see these Jerries go down." Coppola, Louis J., Cpl., Co. F., 2d Bn., 15th Regt., 3d Div., Stamford. " I had quite a time cf it during 30 months over there, being wounded three times and once being captured by the Germans. At Anzio, on D- Day, I was hit by shrapnel near the left eye. Then, just two days before we entered Rome I was hit again. I was wounded a third time after we landed in Southern France. In Sicily the Germans captured three other soldiers and myself and kept us in a cave for two days. During a heavy bombardment we escaped when our guards were killed or wounded. I had 30 months overseas, most of it with the 3d Division, but I also had some time with the 9th Division. After my experiences, I'll welcome the quiet life from now on." Courtois, Marcel J., Cpl., 100th Chem. Bn., ( Sep.), Plainfield. " The most lasting impression I will retain of 29 months in the MTO is of a German air raid on Naples harbor while we were still aboard ship. We were making preparations to leave the ship when the air raid alarms sounded. The Jerries came over in waves and dropped their bombs all around us. At the height of the raid, a brilliant, bright light far off lit up the sky. It was Mt. Vesuvius erupting. I'll never forget one colored soldier yelling, ' Look at the guy with all his lights on.' He thought it was a German plane. It's funny now, but it wasn't so funny then." Distefano, Sylvia O., T/ 5, 103d A. A. Bn., 1st Div., Waterbury. " I was wounded at the Rhine, during the crossing at Remagen Bridge. A piece of shrapnel hit me in the head but after I had first aid I kept on going with my outfit. We got our biggest number of enemy planes after we crossed into Germany, shooting down a flock of them. I had a lot of travel during two and a half years overseas, being in Tunisia, Sicily, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia and Germany. We were with a great outfit and I'll always remember it." Frazio, Frank S., Pfc, 100th Chem. Mortar Bn., 5th Army, Waterbury. " I spent 9 weeks in a hospital in Italy and it was cold even there. The closest call I ever had was one day when I was going for water. I was almost to the well when a mortar shell hit it. I dove for a ditch and 4 was holed up there for half an hour. The shells really flew thick and fast. When I got back to my gun post, we went to work and not only knocked out the mortar but also a machine gun nest and a lookout tower. We did quite a job that day." Flynn, Thomas D., Pfc, Co. H., 91st Div., Bridgeport. " I think that the Gothic line campaign will live in my memory for a long time. It was hard going all of the time and the weather was the foulest that I have ever had to bear. It was cold and wet all of the time. I could never form much liking for Italy, but Austria is something different. It seemed to be much more prosperous and was far cleaner. We linked up with the Russians in Vienna. I had 21 months over there, and that is plenty." Foberg, Robert G., Sgt., 409th Bmb. Grp., 641st Bmb. Sq., West Hartford. " The English language sounds good to me, so I guess that is why I liked England better than France. I was a radar mechanic and am very high on the English radar navigational set. It was the best that I ever worked on. Our group at first had A- 20s and later on the new A- 26. Both of them are dandy planes. After the Germans were cleared out of the Paris area, we were based there. I got lots of hops, mostly in C- 47s." Forman, Frank J., Cpl., Btry. A., 92d F. A., Chester. " The unromantic but very necessary job of personnel clerk in charge of records was mine during my career overseas. I was in both the Mediterranean and European theatres. Of all the places I saw, I liked France best. The people were very friendly and Paris is a beautiful city. 1 got a lot of travel experience out of the Army, but from now on I guess I'll stay home and let it be a memory." Garguild, Joseph L., Pfc, Btry. C, 173d F. A., East Haven. " A shell, which proved to be a dud though we didn't realize it when it landed, came right through our camouflage net one day and gave me the greatest scare of my Army career. This happened in Italy where I spent 27 months that I didn't enjoy one bit. I was a cannoneer, number- one man, in a medium field artillery crew. Our crew made all of the Italian campaigns. That discharge button is really going to look good on my coat." Garrison, Weyand E., Pfc, 894th Air Engr., 9th Air Force, Manchester. " Our job was repairing and maintaining P- 47s. I spent two years in the ETO and haven't anything good to say about it. I thought the French were very mercenary. I'm happy about getting out. It will be good to be a civilian again." Gelinas, William J., T/ 4, 142d Sig. Co., 2d Armd. Div., Willimantic " Many times in France our division was moving ahead so fast that we had quite a job keeping signal communications up with them. In 34 months over there I had six campaigns, from Africa up through Sicily and into France. I saw enough of the world; now I want to see home." Gillman, Raymond L., S/ Sgt., 15th Air Force, West Hartford. " Crossing the Adriatic with two engines out was the closest call I ever had. I was a gunner, right waist, in the 49th Bomb Squadron, 2d Bomb Group ( H). We set out early in the morning on the Vipitino raid. When we got over the target, flak and fighters hit us at the same time. We managed to get rid of the bombs while all of the time the fighters were attacking. Our pilot was hit and the co- pilot had to take over. Two engines and the hydraulic system were put out of commission, but 6 we managed to limp away. The flak had sounded like hail hitting the plane, and it had torn big holes in the wings and fuselage. We got under cover of another formation and got some protection while getting away. Coming back was tough. It looked so much like we would have to bail out that the warning bell to hit the silk found us all prepared. This order was not carried out but we did abandon all armament, including guns, ammunition cans and flak suits in an effort to lighten the ship. We crossed the Adriatic at 1500 feet. We landed on the field on one flat tire, no hydraulic system and only two engines. There were 247 holes in the plane, but one week later it was back in commission. That was my worst day." Giordano, James, Pfc, 777th Q. M. Bn. Service Force, East Norwalk. " Thirty- nine months in an officer's paradise— Panama— and an enlisted man's hell is enough for me. I never took a furlough down there for there wasn't any place to go. I'm one guy who is really glad to get back to civilian days for the Army life wasn't made for me." Giordano, Michael J., Pvt., 1903d Bn., Av. Engr., Stamford. " The best deal that I ever got in the Army was when I was sent to Atlantic City on rotation after spending 18 months in Panama. Boy, how good that place looked! Shortly afterwards, I was redeployed to the Pacific. That wasn't so good. Our job was to build and repair airfields. I was stationed at Ie- Shima when the planes carrying the Jap surrender party to the Philippines stopped to refuel. Those Japs were the only ones who ever looked good to me. I'm one guy who will know how to appreciate civilian life." Gleason, William J., Pfc, 9th Air Force, Waterbury. " I was a turret and gunsight specialist in the 391st Bomb Group, 573d Bomb Squadron. My duties were to do maintenance work. I made no combat missions. I was in the ETO for 24 months, being stationed in England, France and Belgium. Our squad did some mighty effective bombing. The part of the Army that I liked best is this part— getting out." Gombatz, William F., T/ 5, Div. Hq., 3d Armd. Div., Plainville. " The civilians in Belgium gave us the greatest welcome we received anywhere. At Mons and Liege there were thousands of them in the streets, yelling and cheering. They loaded us with flowers, wine and any other gifts they had. To take Mons we hit the Germans so hard and so fast that they didn't know what was going on, and our outfit got the Presidential Citation for it." Iannucci, Joseph A., S/ Sgt., Co. B., 1st Bn., 116th Regt., 29th Div., Bridgeport. " I was a squad leader and going across Europe from Normandy we took some very heavy casualties. My 13- man squad must have had at least three or four full sets of new men to replace those killed and wounded. I was hit myself once, in the right arm, but was out of action only a few hours. The hardest fighting we met was at Settich, Germany, where the Krauts fought terrifically. After the end of the war, we served as occupation troops at Bremerhaven, and the civilians gave us no trouble at all." Kaicher, William D., Sgt., 8th Air Force, Bristol. " I was a parachute man in the 557th Bomb Squadron, 387th Bomb Group. Ours was a B- 26 group. We were first stationed at Rumford, about 20 miles north of London. On two different occasions, I was in town when the base was heavily bombed by German planes. After D- Day, we were shipped to France to a base near Paris. We were sent to Holland later on, and I was stationed there when the war ended. Of all the places I saw over there, I liked Paris best." Karpuc, Albin B., Pfc, 29th Inf. Div., Norwich. " I got hit at Vire, France, by a mortar shell. I got out of the hospital later on and joined my old outfit. The toughest fight we ever had was taking Waltrup, Germany. The Krauts gave us everything they had in that fight. After the war, I got a good chance to look around. That is nice looking country over there but I will settle for Norwich any day. I'm really glad to get back." Kloskowski, Walter F., T/ 5, 195th A. A. A. Bn., 2d Armd. Div., New Britain. " Being attached to combat medics, I was under fire all of the time. But so were all the combat medics. We made all of the campaigns in the ETO, and I can't remember one that wasn't tough. I guess the proudest day of my life came at Munchcn- Gladbach, Germany, when a French general decorated me and two of my buddies with the Croix de Guerre, 2d Order. I got mine for administering first aid, under artillery fire, to three wounded soldiers. But I was always doing that, and it seemed unremarkable to me. But I guess the bigwigs thought different. I've seen enough of war to last me the rest of my life." Kozlowski, Raphael P., Cpl., 391st Arty. Regt., 3d Armd. Div., Torrington. " The place we won't forget is Baterbon, Germany, where General Rose was killed. The Germans gave us a battle there and their Tiger tanks were mighty tough. During the hedgerow fighting in Normandy, my tank was hit and we took some casualties. The Germans had us zeroed in and I stayed there firing from the tank. Later they gave me the Bronze Star for that." Krupski, Joseph T., Pfc, Btry. C, 434th F. A., 7th Armd. Div., Bridgeport. " We were with the British Second Army at the Bulge, and we had more than a fair share of combat. We were in four campaigns across Europe and were in Halle, Germany, when the Nazis decided it was time to surrender. None of us will ever forget the Bulge." Lapinsky, Alexander E., Pfc, 23d Engr., 3d Armd. Div., Bridgeport. " We were both engineers and infantrymen through five campaigns. In the Hertgen Forest we had our work cut out for us, doing engineering through snow and rain in mountainous country, and with the Germans shelling us. The Ardennes was no picnic either. I landed with the 4th Division and stayed with them till Cherbourg, then joined the 9th Division and stayed with them till Hertgen. After that I was with the 3d Armored the rest of the way. I had a long 35 months overseas and I'm certainly glad to be home." Lipinski, Henry L., S/ Sgt., Armd. Veh. Maint. Bn., 3d Army, Torrington. " The enemy artillery fire was very heavy at Brest where we spearheaded the attack. Our job was to smash pockets where German gun positions were located. While we were at Avaranches, we took quite a pasting both from German planes and artillery. Crossing the Rhine was no picnic, but I don't think that it was as tough as Brest. I liked Luxembourg best of the places I have been. The people there were very friendly." Luca, George J., T/ 4, 142d Sig. Co., 2d Armd. Div., East Morris. " The 2d Armored spearheaded the invasion of Belgium and the government there gave us the fourragere, the first time it had been awarded to any foreign unit. We're mighty proud to wear it. We had 1 0 lots of bad moments during my 34 months overseas, but from the Ruhr River on was probably the hardest, with the Germans fighting more ferociously than ever." Mooney, Richard J., Pfc, 121st Engr., ( Sep.), Hartford. " Move in! Move in! That's about the only impression I have left, and I guess that it will stick with me for a long time. The words are all I can remember about our landing at Omaha Beach on D- Day. The rest is all chaotic in my mind, and even now I cannot piece it together. It's funny how a command like that will stick and the rest be forgotten. I made all the campaigns in Europe and I don't want to do any of them again. I'm going to live a nice, peaceful life." Murray, John J., Cpl., 2d Armd. Div., Arty. Hq., Hartford. " Africa, England, France, Holland, Belgium and Germany— sounds like a travelogue, doesn't it? But those were the places I saw during 30 months overseas. I was a forward observer and gunner, working out of message center. I decoded and deciphered messages which gave information as to where we should concentrate our fire. My closest call came when a German shell landed a couple of yards from our gun position. Luckily, it was a dud. I am going to make application for AMG. I would like to go to Frankfort, Germany." Nielson, Donald E., Pvt., 54th F. A. Bn., 3d Armd. Div., Plainville. " In Germany I picked up a wonderful dog, one of the SS guard dogs. A fellow in the Merchant Marine is supposed to bring him to me in this country and I'll make a good American dog out of him. He's a fine animal. In Europe our outfit had self- propelled 105s and the Krauts didn't like them a bit. Some of the prisoners said our fire was so heavy that they thought we had some kind of automatic artillery." Pannone, Raymond R., S/ Sgt., 12th Air Force, Hamden. " The MTO was my home for 31 months. I was a photo lab chief in the 379th Bomb Squadron of the 310th Bomb Group. At various times we were stationed in Casablanca, Tunis, Libya, Corsica and Italy. My duties were to develop bomb strike photos, and I really worked on some beauts. Some of the hits our guys made were remarkable. At one time, we had three of the Doolittle Tokyo raid pilots in our squad. They were hot pilots. Northern Italy was the best of all the places where I was stationed." Platkiewicz, John J., T/ 4, 85th Cav. Ren., 5th Armd. Div., Bridgeport. " I was a tank driver and I kept my tank in steady operation through nine straight months of combat. Maybe that's some kind of a record. My tank was right in there all the time, but it wasn't hit by anything big. We did our heaviest firing at the Belgian- German border." Raftery, James P., Pfc, 1st Bn., 311th Regt., 78th Div., West Hartford. " To my way of thinking, Germany was the best country we saw in Europe. Everything seemed well kept- up, and the people didn't bother us at all. I was with the Air Force in this country, then was transferred to the infantry and spent a year overseas, taking part in three campaigns." Richmond, Henry B., Pfc, Co. H., 328th Inf., 26th Div., Hartford. " I'm from the best outfit in the world— the Yankee Division. We're the guys who stopped them at the Bulge. I landed in France as a machine gunner and was in all the battles except D- Day. I was wounded twice— at Monicourt Woods, France, and at Saarlautern, Germany. For some time I was attached to Military Intelligence where I interviewed POWs. Most of the prisoners were glad to be captured by the Yanks and were glad to be out of the war. Some of them, especially the kids who were schooled in the Nazi doctrine, were real fanatics. I was in Czechoslovakia when the war ended. There, the people begged to be taken rather than fail into the hands of the Russians." Rowe, Robert W., S/ Sgt., 2d Bn., 349th Inf., 88th Div., Norwalk. " The most vivid experience that I had in the war occurred in Italy. I was battalion supply sergeant and had charge of hauling supplies to the outfit. We had to use mule teams over the mountains in Italy. We set out one night and were plodding along minding our own business when we ran into the best ambush that you ever saw. We were holed up for two of the longest hours of my life. We were rescued by another mule train that was heavily guarded. I did not like Italy but found Austria okay." Rozycki, Stanley M., M/ Sgt., 15th Air Force, Naugatuck. " I made one combat flight while overseas. I was crew chief of a B- 24 named ' Knockout', and, on the ship's 100th mission, I was aboard. The trip was supposed to be a milk- run so I felt perfectly safe. The target was Vienna and when our formation got there, the flak was almost heavy enough to walk on. It was really rough, and that was my first and last combat flight. My ship had, in all, 147 sorties to its credit, and also 3 enemy fighter planes. That's about tops for a Lib. The Air Force did a whale of a job." Shulick, Albert, Sgt., Trp. B., 85th Cav. Ren., 5th Armd. Div., Stratford. " Ours was the first outfit to move into Germany, going into Wallendorf on September 11, 1944. We had some of our worst fighting to get in there; though the Hertgen Forest was also among our hardest. After five campaigns and 20 1 2 months overseas, I'm ready for all the quiet life that Connecticut has to offer." Skelly, John S., Jr., Pvt., 29th Cmbt. Engr. Co., 121st Engr., Hartford. " How would you like to see three of your buddies killed by a war weapon after the war was over? That's what I saw, and it is something that I will not forget in a hurry. Our job was to detect land mines. V- E Day did not stop our work, for the Germans had planted plenty of them and we had to dig them out. This day, we had picked up quite a few and had loaded them on a truck. Through some mishap, one of the mines fell off and exploded and set off the rest of them. The truck and its three passengers were blown to bits. It was a tough thing to see and also a tough thing to remember." Urbanowicz, John A., Sgt., Co. L., 47th Regt., 9th Div., New Britain. " While we were in the harbor at Palermo preparatory to making a landing, German planes came over and dropped their bombs all around us. We were down in the hold and though we did not get hit, we got a real scare the way the boat was swaying from the concussions. I spent 30 months across as a rifleman and scout. I was in Walbach, Germany on V- E Day. I got one big beef about the food that we had on the boat coming home. Ours was lousy, while, as usual, the officers had all the best. We didn't even get sugar for the coffee." Weinberg, Kurt, S/ Sgt., 6695th Hq. & Hq. Co., M. I. S., West Hartford. " I came to the United States in August 1941 and was in the Army in March of ' 42. I made the D- Day landing in Sicily with the 45th Division. I also made Salerno D- Day plus one and Anzio D plus two. The latter two were by far the hardest. Being attached to Military Intelligence, I made all of the Sicilian and Italian campaigns. My work was to interrogate prisoners, both Italian and German, to obtain information regarding battle orders, strength of positions, expected moves, locations of supply depots and armament factories. The work was highly interesting. We had our own methods of getting information by skillful questioning and what we got was of inestimable value to the high command. The German was arrogant, but stupid, and we obtained our best information from him. The Italian was voluble but, for the most part, unfamiliar with military matters. I liked Italy very much. I have no regrets for the time I spent in the Army, as I regard them as the most interesting of my life. I'm glad to have been able to serve for the United States."
