Custerman: While I joined the 3rd Inf Div in France, Russ (3-7-I Recon) joined the 3rd
Div. at Azio. Both of us as Inf. casualty replacements. The Division was made up primarily of casualty replacements. Very few "originals" left.
Marion: Would really like to see some of "Dennis's" photos of the 3rd Inf Div., and wonder if he ran across another 3rd Inf. Div combat cameraman, namely sgt. William
Heller from the 3r Signal. Hopefully Russ (3-7-I Recon) will be on soon, but he is
having health problems . Actually did not ever meet Recon, but somehow we got
together on the net (E mail) and found out we both served in many of the same battles
together and have been friends for years since, even though being in different outfits
in the 7th Inf Reg. He being a I&R platoon leader (Lt.) and me being a PFC company rifleman made no difference. We still go back and forth via E mail regularly .
