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.
as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully main­tained
that tradition. In fact, you have raised it to new heights. You have added immortal names to the historic list of victories — New Georgia, Tunisia, Cassino, Anzio, Normandy, Ardennes Bulge, Hurtgen Forest, Leyte, Luzon, Ruhr Pocket, Apennines, Okinawa, and more.
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 this 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.
In this,
the greatest of all wars just ended, you,
Chance and talents assigned many of you to tasks along
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.
Campbell, Clarence, Jr., T/ 5, Btry. A., 459th A. A. A. Bn., 29th Div., RFD 2, Rockville.
" Purple Heart Hill near the Ruhr industrial area was just that for me. We were setting up our guns in a field to give protection to the 29th Division when the Germans opened fire on us. I hit the dirt face down, and a shell came skimming along and took off the seat of my pants. You can imagine where I got hit. It's a lucky thing that we don't have to wear the decoration on the place we got hit. I was in Germany for 11 months, going all the way from Aachen to Magdeburg."
Cofrancesco, Vincent C., Pfc, 102d Inf., 43d Div., Waterbury.
" In January of 1942, I sailed for the Pacific with the New England division. We were in a convoy and got a real scare in the Caribbean when we were attacked by a sub. Sweating that out was the hardest thing that I ever did. In the Pacific, we built a naval refueling base at the Society Islands. I came home on rotation in July of 1944, and was I glad to see Waterbury! After my furlough, I batted around the States for a while, and then left for the ETO to join the 106th Division. I was near Mainz, Germany, on V- E Day. The ETO was a far better deal than the Pacific."
Donahue, Francis D., M/ Sgt., 1177th Engr. Cmbt. Grp., ( Sep.), Mystic.
" I figure in an odd coincidence. I was discharged from the Army in World War I just 26 years ago to the day from my
discharge after this one. It was October 23, 1919, that I left the service, and it's the same month and day this year. We had a much different Army in this war; the men seemed about the same, but the officer material wasn't anywhere near as good this time as it was then. Between wars I was active in the American Legion at Groton Point. I couldn't resist joining up again and they sent me out to the Pacific, though I'd been in the 3d Cavalry in the last war. I was with a water supply unit and we had a terrific problem at Manila. It'll take years to build that city up again."
Donnelly, George J., S/ Sgt., 491st Q. M. Co. ( Sep.), Danbury.
" It can't get too cold for me in the New England states, after 40 months of heat in the Pacific. I moved all the way up from New Zealand to the Philippines in that time, and I had enough of the Pacific to last me a lifetime. I'm afraid to try to think how many supplies I handled while overseas."
Emery, Lawrence V., T/ 5, 196th Sig. Photo Co., Army Pictorial Service, West Haven.
" I saw lots of sights as a combat photo­grapher
for the Army, working in Africa and Italy. I think I had some good shots, but it's really too hard to tell which was the best one, though I did like one I took in Italy on a bullet- marked execution wall with some symbolic shadows on it. That Anzio beachhead was the spot for excite­ment;
I felt like a duck in a shooting gallery."

Faust, Daniel C, S/ Sgt., 75th Joint Assault Sig. Co., Stratford.
" The native tombs on Okinawa were something to see. They were very elab­orate
affairs, often built into the side of a hill, with only a small opening. It wasn't so good when the Japs started using them in defending the island because it was mighty hard to knock them out of there. It was a dangerous, dirty job to blast them out or seal them in and it cost us a lot of casualties."
Gladstone, Lewis, 1st/ Sgt., 303d Med. Bn., 78th Inf. Div., Hamden.
" The Texans remember the Alamo, but I will always remember Remagen. That was about the hottest spot that I was ever in. We crossed the river there under fire and, for a whole week on the other side, we were compressed into a small area into which the Germans poured all they had. Not only did we get it from the artillery but also from the air. They were trying to knock both us and the bridge out. They did finally get the bridge, but not until after the pontoons were built. After our men cleared them out, we went across the Sieg River and up to the Ruhr pocket. I was in the combat medics, and, for my money, it was a great outfit."
Greene, Francis G., Cpl., Div. Arty., 83d Div., Salisbury.
" Laying wire to battalions and attached units was no easy job, especially in forward areas. The cold weather of the winter cam­paigns
didn't help us either. The Germans were always trying to knock out our com­munications
and we had to work under heavy fire many a time. As a wire corporal I laid wire all across Europe, from Nor­mandy
right into the heart of Central Europe."
Guisto, Anthony, S/ Sgt., 1303d Engr. ( Sep.), Waterbury.
" My outfit was one of those redeployed
to the Pacific right after the German surrender. I'd had five campaigns in Europe during 15 months, and was ready for more on the other side of the world. We went through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific to the Philippines. It was great news for us when the Jap surrender was announced and we knew we'd be starting soon for the States."
Horowitz, Samuel, T/ 4, 95th Evac. Hosp., ( Sep.), West Haven.
" With the 5th Army in Italy and the 7th Army in France and Germany, the closest call I ever had came on Feb. 7, 1944, at Anzio when our hospital was bombed and I was hit by a frag. We made D- Day at Italy, Salerno, Anzio and Southern France. The toughest initial landing was at Salerno, but the hardest campaign was at Anzio. The most vivid experience that I had— and one that I would like to forget, but can't— is helping a doctor make an autopsy at a morgue. He laid open the skull of a man and re­moved
the brain piece by piece. It was pretty awful to have to stay there and watch that. I know that even the doctor hated it. I hope to forget it soon."
Hunt, Richard S., Pfc, 384th Port Bn. ( Sep.), Rocky Hill.
" My most exciting moment was at Gela, Sicily, when I was in the hold of a ship we were unloading. Nazi planes came over and one of them made a direct hit on the ship. Luckily for me we were at the aft end of the ship and the bomb hit forward or I wouldn't be here to tell about it. Another time the Germans opened up on us with 88s from the shore and gave us a bad time for a while."
Izzo, Charles A., Pfc, Med. Bn., Evac. Hosp., 1st Army, Bridgeport.
" I got a shamrock from my Irish friends in Bridgeport the day I got in­ducted.
That was on St. Patrick's Day,
4
1941. I was in the ETO for 20 months, going from Normandy right through. I will never forget Avaranches. When we got to the town, there were only three buildings standing. I saw the Canadian paratroopers land near this sector. They were trapped 5 days later. By V- E Day, I was in Gena, Germany. After four and a half years in the Army, I am going to take it real easy for a while. I figure on taking a vacation until the first of the year. How about the bonus?"
Kania, Anthony J., T/ 4, 336th Engr., ( Sep.), Moosup.
" That Omaha Beach in Normandy on D- Day was some place. There was so much stuff flying around in the air that I think it's almost a miracle that I got through that day all right, not to mention the things that came after. At Omaha it was really rugged, as tough as anything I ran into during four campaigns through Europe."
Kantrowitz, Abraham, Pfc, Med. Det., 152d Inf., 38th Div., Bridgeport.
" We gave the wounded care and treat­ment
right out in the front lines, even sometimes giving them plasma while under fire. I helped save lives and that was our job. I was lucky enough not to get even a scratch. In the Philippines I got a Silver Star and a Bronze Star for helping wounded men under fire and getting them back to safer areas."
Kennedy, Paul B., T/ 3, 471st Med. Det., ( Sep.), New Haven.
" Manila went wild when the Japs decided to surrender. I was at Clark Field, waiting to come home, and I saw the whole show. Shells, flares, rockets and everything else filled the sky and it went on for hours. The Filipinos and American servicemen joined in a great celebration— one that was out of this world. It was like a hundred Fourth of Julys rolled into one."
Lewoc, Fabian P., B/ Sgt., 75th Joint Assault Sig. Co. ( Sep.), Meriden.
" I went through the Pacific from the Aleutians to Okinawa. The Aleutians are so hopeless that even trees refuse to grow there and it was good to get away. During the Leyte campaign I got a leg wound from a Jap bomb, but I was ready to go into Okinawa with my Jasco outfit. We worked with the 7th Division, and for my money Okinawa was the worst of them all. The Japs had wonderful defense positions and they just had to be dug and blown out. It was slow and bloody work."
Lombardo, Vincent S., Pfc, 196th F. A. Grp., XIII Corps, Waterbury.
" Getting married to a swell English girl is the best thing that I remember about the ETO. Now if the government will only bring her over here in a hurry, every­thing
will be strictly on the beam. Getting strafed at the Belgian Bulge by about 25 P- 47s was about the closest call that I had. I guess it was all a mistake as the Ger­mans
were very close to us, and I suppose that the pilots couldn't tell one side from the other. We were really forced back that day. I'm waiting for two things— my discharge papers and my wife."
Newell, Richard C, S/ Sgt., Hq. Btry., 15th Inf. Regt., 3d Div., West Hartford.
" The road from Casablanca to Ber ¬ chtesgaden was the one that was traveled by the Third. In this month's issue of Red Book, there is a full history of the " Fight­ing
Third". I was a forward observer, and, like all of the others, I just did my job. Read that story and you will get a full idea of what we did. I am going to go to school under the G. I. Bill."
Pesillo, Ernest J., T/ 5, 15th F. Obs. Bn., II Corps, Waterbury.
" I'll always remember the day on the Anzio beachhead when the Germans counterattacked and almost pushed us into
0
the sea. 1 dug in and got ready to fight as an infantryman. It was the Flying Fortresses that saved us by breaking up the German drive. Everytime I looked up there were waves of them and it was the best sight I ever witnessed during all the time I was overseas. From Naples up until we passed Rome, it seemed the Germans were always looking down our throats, and the way they handled those 88s it wasn't even funny. Once we pushed past Rome, though, things changed for a while for the Germans did not even have time enough to set up a position on a hill."
Ranciato, Louis R., S/ Sgt., 92d Med. G. T. Bn., New Haven.
" The most vivid picture I have is of American doctors going about their business of tending the wounded while their makeshift hospital was being shelled. This happened at Bastogne where we used a roofless barn for the hospital. It was really something to see as the medics— all of them— performed their required jobs even with shells falling into the barn. I'll never forget it. The Dachau atrocity camp was liberated on April 29, and I was there on May 2. We were sent there to clean out the typhus and tubercular cases. We gave 50,000 typhus shots there. It was tough giving those people shots as most of them were only skin and bones. We inspected the whole place, seeing the crematorium, the gas chambers and the special operating room where the German doctors experimented. The liberated pris­oners
included people of all nationalities and all professions. I have some pictures that show the crematorium and gas chamber working. I'm glad that I wasn't a prisoner there."
Rapacky, John D., Pvt., 532d E. B. and Shore Regt., 2d Amphi. Brigade, Plainville.
" I made five D- Day landings on islands
in the Pacific and that was about enough. One of the most dangerous moments was at Mindoro when a Jap ship came in close enough to shell us on the shore. That was even worse than New Guinea, or so it seemed. When the Japs surrendered, I was due to start home anyway and was at Leyte waiting for transportation back to the States."
Rice, Frank J., Sgt., Div. Hq. Co., 78th Div., West Haven.
" One question that has bothered me for a long time is, ' Why can't the German people be as nice as their countryside?' There is a nice country. I believe that the most vivid memory I have is of the Remagen bridgehead. We got across the bridge under heavy fire, landed on the other side, and made a head about three miles deep. Then the Germans counter­attacked
while they threw all kinds of planes, including jet jobs, against the bridge in an effort to destroy it and cut us off. We were right close to the bridge and bombs dropped all around us. It was a trying time. When we finally drove the Germans back, we continued up to the Sieg River and sealed a big army off there. That was the roughest campaign in which we took part."
Riga, Adolph A., T/ 5, 79th F. A. Grp. ( Sep.), Bridgeport.
" I've been bombed both by the Ameri­cans
and by the Germans. Being bombed by our own was a mistake as the Germans were so close that it would be impossible from the air to tell one from the other. But the Germans bombed us on purpose. We were in a house at Stollburg when a German plane dropped one right in on us. I came out of there on the fly and dove head first into a ditch. I'm going to be home tonight and dive right into my civilian clothes."
8 Robbins, Joseph W., Pfc., Btry. B., 575th F. A., Old Lyme.
" Chow time seemed to be my time for close shaves. I had the first in Florence, Italy, when the Germans laid a barrage on the mess line. We had to hole up in a hurry that time. It was almost funny to see everybody run for cover and mess gear and food flying in all directions. That is, if a close miss could be called funny. The next one I had was in France when a truck in which we were riding to chow got strafed by a German plane. We had to pile out and get to cover in a hurry. The Army is okay in war time. It's something that has to be done."
Sawicki, Richard S., T/ Sgt., 67th Malaria Control Detail, ( Sep.), Meriden.
" Malaria conditions on Leyte were pretty bad when we landed there, but we began improvements once we got estab­lished.
We had the job of enforcing malaria control regulations and doing everything possible to eliminate it. Those atabrine pills helped many an American serviceman from falling victim to malaria."
Skoglund, Herbert, Pfc, 46th F. A. Grp. ( Sep.), Newington.
" Africa, Italy, Corsica, England, France, Germany and Austria were the places I
was stationed one time or another daring 34 months overseas. I was a telephone lineman laying communication wires right back of the infantry. The battle around Haguenau in Alsace Lorraine was the toughest due, I guess, to the weather con­ditions
as well as the actual fighting. It was bitterly cold, and wet. Now I think that I am going to join the Merchant Marine. I like to travel.'"
Smith, Earl C, Pfc, 978th F. A., XIX Corps, Southbury.
" Reconnaissance work at night is always ticklish business. You never know what you are going to run into, or what is going to run into you. There were twelve of us out one night when all of a sudden a Thunderbolt swooped down and let his bombs go. We hit for German foxholes in a hurry. We didn't know what to make of it, getting bombed by our plane. It was a funny feeling. Soon, the plane was back. I got way down in my foxhole, as I figured he was going to strafe. But I guess he must have recognized us for Americans just as he let the bombs go, for, this time, he just flapped his wings and roared off. It was a great relief after a tough scare." Spotten, Robert J., Pfc, Co. D., 3d Med. Bn., 3d Div., Dayville.
" Four months of Anzio gave me all of war that I will ever want. All of that time, the firing and bombings went on night and day. It seemed that we never got any rest nor any relief from the sound of war. And when I think back now how we seemed to have things under control after the beachhead, it makes me wonder. I served as a litter bearer in combat zones for two and a half years. In that length of time, we made six D- Days. We traveled the hard way all of the way from Sicily to Berchtesgaden. I've had enough."
Stevens, Harold B., Pfc, 551st F. A. Bn., ( Sep.), East Hartford.
" The first day was rough and the last day was rough. The first day we were in combat in Normandy, enemy shells fell all around us. I was on a 240 mm crew. That's the biggest gun there is. Then, near Stollburg, it wasn't enough for us to be plagued by artillery fire and snipers, but German paratroopers were dropped near us. There was never a dull moment. The toughest thing that I saw was when one of our guns blew up near the Ruhr pocket. The last day of the war found us getting shelled just as badly as we did the first day. There were no easy days."
Tallcouch, Steven C, T/ 4, 15th Evac. Hosp, ( semi- mobile), Fairfield.
" The first time I ever saw what actually happened at the front was in North Africa at famous Hill 609. I was told an evacua­tion
hospital never got nearer than forty miles to the front lines, but there we were only four miles away. General McNair was wounded here and we treated him at our hospital. Then again at Anzio, where we remained for 120 days, our hospital was under shellfire morning, noon and night. That was our roughest deal as we were the only hospital on the beachhead that was never relieved or replaced. Any­way,
I am mighty proud to have belonged to that outfit. We established a record when we set up the entire hospital in six hours while operating near Peretta, Italy."
Thomas, Andrew F., Pfc, Co. K., 274th Inf. Regt., Stamford.
" After Salerno, all of the others looked easy. In the combat engineers things were pretty rugged all of the way through. In 28 months overseas I served both in the MTO and ETO, and made D- Day at Salerno and Southern France. Outside of Rome, Italy didn't offer much. I saw the changing of the guard at Vatican City and was blessed by the Pope. Vatican City and St. Peter's are very impressive. Austria is about the nicest country that I was in."
Urless, Theodore J., Pfc, 978th F. A., XIX Corps, Ansonia.
" The best day that I had in the ETO was the day I got on the boat to come home. Three hundred and sixteen days in combat was enough for me. I operated a quadrant on our gun. Vire, France, is one of the places that I remember too well. It was here that I believe our crew had its closest call, though I guess that could be said for lots more of us. We were about 500 yards in back of the infantry, setting up for position, when the hottest rifle fire that we ever got started. I never saw such a place for snipers. We had a tough time that day. The air bombing which we got at St. Lo, which lasted for five whole days, was also something to remember.'
Wailonis, Joseph E., Pfc, 684th Ord. Ammo. Co., ( Sep.), Naugatuck.
" After four months on Anzio, the rest of the war was pretty tame to my outfit. We were always running short of the heavy stuff because we were under con­tinual
shellfire from the Germans. When they made a hit on the dump, a fire would start that would usually burn all day. For a while we ran so low that the gun batteries could shoot only one round a day. My worst experience happened about two weeks after we had landed at Anzio. The Germans made an air- raid and dropped an anti- personnel bomb in the middle of a store of powder charges. A fire started and while I was helping to put it out, a huge pile of 155s and 210s went up with an explosion. It sounded like all hell had broken loose. I was lucky because except for a scare and getting knocked down, I was all right a short while after. However, a lot of the fellows had their eardrums busted and two others were killed. In­cidentally,
I tried to do that trick of Commando Kelley's of pulling out the pin on a 60mm mortar and using it as a hand grenade, but it doesn't work."
Williams, David L., Pfc, 58th Malaria Control Detail ( Sep.), New Haven.
" During the 20 months that I had to observe things in the Pacific, I was able to see great progress in malaria control. It's a fight that has to be kept up con­stantly,
but the toll of the disease was being driven down steadily all the time. American medicine and science can do a lot to improve health and living conditions out there."
Zboray, George W., T/ 5, 649th Engr. Topo. Bn., Survey Platoon, Stratford.
" I'm going to enjoy the nice peaceful life of running a restaurant in Bridgeport. I've had enough of war. The closest call that I ever had was when a building next to the one I was in was hit by a shell and knocked for a loop. I was in a field observa­tion
battalion. We computed areas into which the field artillery was to concen­trate
its fire. It was very exacting work, but it was not monotonous. The enemy saw to that. I was in Austria on V- E Day. It didn't end any too soon for me."
Zdeb, Michael J., Pfc, 3341st Gas. Truck Co., 204th Q. M. Bn., Rocky Hill.
" I drove a gasoline truck for refueling tanks, trucks, and Diesels, over practi­cally
every road in North Africa and Italy. It was a toss- up which roads were worse though Highway 65 between Florence and Bologna and the stretch that ran from Sousse to Cape Bon in North Africa were about as bad as any I have ever seen. What they call roads over there, we would call plowed land here. During the push from Rome onward, I worked day and night hauling gas from the end of the pipeline to the front, but it was worth it for you really knew the Army was going places then." Zebrakas, Anthony J., T/ 5, 978th F. A. Bn., XIX Corps Artillery, Naugatuck.
" The most spectacular thing that I saw was an aerial show one night at Duisburg, Germany. The night was so clear and bright that it seemed almost daylight. The RAF was out in full force, and the Krauts were there to meet them. We could easily see the flashes from the bombers' guns as the German fighters dove in to intercept them. We were kept busy firing at the German ackack positions, but we could also keep an eye on the fight above. Eight of the bombers were knocked down and one JU- 88. We saw the Germans parachute down and land not far from our position. They were all taken prisoner. I also saw some of the RAF men parachute down, but I don't know how they made out. I liked Germany the best of all of the European countries."
They Are Coming Home
Connecticut men are coming home by the thousands from both the European and Pacific Theaters of War. They come in every size and type of vessel that floats, ranging from the little War Shipping Administration freighters that carry fif­teen
to thirty men, to Victory ships that provide passage for nearly 2,000, up to the great liners like the S. S. America, renamed the U. S. S. West Point, and to the Queen ships of the Cunnard line, which carry nearly 15,000 men on each homeward trip.
The big boats, notably the Queens, arrive in a blaze of publicity and head­lines,
but it is the WSA fleet that really piles up the total, and accounts for better than 85 per cent of it.
That fleet of 470 vessels, consisting of 20 passenger liners and 450 cargo type ships, converted to troop transports at a cost of $ 250,000,000, have a total carrying capacity of a half- million men. The fleet
includes ships ranging in troop carrying capacity from 550 to 6,000 each.
In addition to the WSA fleet, some 250 combat type vessels, constructed by the U. S. Maritime Commission for the Army and Navy, are being used, chiefly in the Pacific. Even LSTs " do their bit."
Approximately 15,000 Connecticut men according to estimates based on all over figures were returned from Europe be­tween
V- E Day and V- J Day.
Including the 523 men, whose names are listed in this booklet, a total of 7,362 Connecticut men have been separated at Devens since September 1, 1945.
More than 100,000 Connecticut men saw overseas service in the armed forces, and the great bulk of them, occupation troops and regular Navy personnel excepted, will be on American soil by May, 1946, according to official forecasts.

" 3. That until July 1, 1950, it shall also be the policy of the State that appointing officers of the State, as defined by Sec. 2049 of the General Statutes, shall, other conditions being equal, give preference to veterans of World War II in filling State positions from registers of eligible candidates furnished by the State Personnel Department."
Educational Aids — With satisfactory cre­dentials,

assistance up to $ 10. for an adult and $ 6. for a child. Apply to the Commission, through the Veterans Home, Rocky Hill.
If you need temporary financial assistance because of a service disability, contact the Veterans Home Commission, Rocky Hill.
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund — Many of the veterans' aid benefits set out above are pay­able
from the income produced by this fund which is to be augmented by a portion of the Connecticut tax on cigarettes until the principal of the fund reaches $ 15,000,000.
