Just got my second installment of records. I now have about 1500 pages (God it could be more) of docs on the 540th. Lots of good reading here folks. It will make for some good stories that's for sure.
The daily journals are my godsend. I just found the docs for the period of Dec 44 and Jan 45. Yup the Ardennes/Alsace Campaign. The entries for the 1st of January are very riveting. They are right in the thick of things and the fighting is fierce. They were used as infantry during many days of this conflict. I would not have wanted to be there. I will have to post them on the site someday soon.
Right now I have to sort through all this paper. We are going to sort by campaigns (hubby and I), to make it easier. Remember I still have more docs coming this year... Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming and I think, my gosh woman, what the hell have you gotten yourself into? This is no cakewalk.
I look forward to the challenge though. And a challenge it will be.
