Marion: I think if anyone knows about the fighting in Italy it would be Roque. I was lucky having missed all of Italian campaign and joined the 3rd Inf Div in France as a Infantry casualty replacement after the 3rd Inf Div. moved into France, then through Germany and into Austria. Roques 34th Div was left in Italy to continue the fighting there without the 3rd, 36th and 45th Div plus some others. Perhaps he will add to the
Italian campaign as he knows it well. Hint, hint, Roque.. Hey Roque, some of us had
to check out those Mamsells and Frauelines and raid the good booze caches in France, Germany and Austria in the places we took. Isnt that the job a dogface rifleman is supposed to do??
