Jim said I should post some of the stories I have been learned about of this unit. Most of my stories are second Hand accounts. I either got them from books, or three friends who have had first hand contact with some of these amazing men. So I guess I should thank Mark Bando, John Klein, and Don Borgez, among others for sharing this info with me.
I guess I'll start with a few photos of the commanders and go from there:
The first Commander Capt. Charles Gordon Shettle [standing](later Bn S3)
Capt. John T. McKnight (formerly of 3BN HQ) [POW D-Day]
Capt John Kiley (he was never CO as Capt) KIA 19 Sept. 1944 Eindhoven
I am still looking for a picture of Capt Fredrick Anderson (I may get one within the week).
More to come...
