Fall of Rome - 5 June 1944
#5

ROCKY,

OUR COMPANY SET UP OUR CP IN A HOTEL WHEN WE WENT INTO ROME

WATSON JONES

 

Wtson All I remember seeing was Venice and I remember

going by Rome on the hiway that went by the colloseum.

According to the book by Homer Ankrum,"Dogfaces WhO

 

SMILED THROUGH TEARS", page 534. The 135th Regt. HQ

set up the Cp at the Majestic Hotel at 2:30pm June 5.

Parts of the 133rd and 135th went into Rome. BUT

Watson maybe I'm wrong. But I do know I saw Rome

from a distance.
