Marion, thanks for the info on the cigarette camps. James Demopoulos went through Camp Lucky Strike at the end of his "tour of duty".
I have some photos of that.
Well, I actually have the original rolls of film and have to get them developed one day.
I only have a few photos at the moment, some are nice like the ones where the Statue of Liberty appears, the troop ships, etc.
Darlene, yes I know what you mean with having troubles finding information.
I encounter a lot of obstacles (1973 fire, wrong info, uncooperative clerks, etc) while researching units or particular GIs.
It is true that at some time US units were under British command. Especially right after Market Garden (September 44).
Another thing I was thinking about is that some units were rushed forward to occupy defensive positions so that the assault units could advance while trying to reduce The Bulge.
This happened from early January 45 onwards.

"Merry Easter" is a result of my weird sense of humor.
Don't take notice, hehe.
