Yeee-hawww! Just acquired some film footage from the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, thanks to my private researcher Caroyln Billups. Thanks CB!

There are a few different sections within the footage. I haven't had much of a chance to decipher it yet, but can give you some info.

1st section is footage of the 36th Combat Engineers building a wooden bridge. If you look closely at the film when two engineers are using a saw, you can discern a 36th engineers patch on the soldier on the right.

The second section shows a medic from the 34th Infantry Division. You can clearly see his Red Bull patch. This one is for you Rocky!

The rest looks like Sicily or Italy and maybe some from North Africa, doesn't it?

Later in the week I am going to try to improve the imaging. Hope you enjoy it. Pretty cool stuff.

Marion; Sorry but this old laptop, window 98, cannot bring up the video.

Thanks for thinking of me,(34th Divn). Rocky

Rocky, I will mail you a copy you can play in your CD player. How about that?

Love You, Oh Queen of Sheba !!!! The squirel said that. Rocky J

Quick info. Just got a call from The head Librarian of the K.C.Ks Library. They want me

to give a talk about WW11 in Italy and bring a photo or two. I am going to take

the pic. of me with Pres. and Mrs. Bush. When they see it I will say-- Where is my

left Hand? And the smile on Mrs. Bush. I f you happen to see her on T V

she will still be smiling.
