C & K rations

As Per 371-Rec on and J3rdinf, I'll add my 2 cents about the C.I.B.

The 34th. entered combat Nov. 1942 at Algiers No. Africa, then Salerno,

Italy Sept.1943 to May 1945. Over 600 days of combat. I don't remember

when the Lt. came by our pup tents after the Benevento battle. And he said

put it on. I looked at it and thought what a pretty looking pin!!

Then he said clean up there is a presentation of awards soon. I looked at my

clothes, wearing woolens,,so I just got off as much of the mud as I could

got water and cleaned my combat boots. and that afternoon, the 1st Bn. 135th

stood at attention and several of us were awarded medals by our Commanding

General, Charles Bolte. He pinned the Bronze Star on me next to my C.I.B.

Needless to say my most prized medal IS THE C I B. Because it represents

ALL I went thru in WWII. The B/S was a one time thing.

So 371Recon and j3rdinf this old dogface salutes you both. Roque
