The story contained in the PDF file is a truly great description of what it must have been like to leave the USA and arrive "somewhere in England" in November 1944 prior to the long haul across Europe.
The first page is of special interest to me because it describes the area in southern UK where I live, with all the familiar town and village names. In many places the odd nissen hut survives. Thank you for posting this great piece of history Michael.
Just one query for you Marion why does the 257th not appear in our 'bible' US ARMY IN WW2.?
