My grandfather served in the 324th Infantry Regiment as a nineteen year-old rifleman. He saw combat from the division's entry into battle in October through December 1944. The green 44th Division fought a desperate enemy on the very unfavorable terrain of the Vosges Mountains, but ultimately prevailed. I am forever grateful for my grandfather's service as well as the men of his unit. Thank you for keeping their memory alive.
Wow! These guys are serious about preserving history! My father was in the 44th ID, 44th Cavalry Recon as an M8 driver. I was fortunate that he told me the first hand accounts of his time in France, Germany and Austria.
Thanks for sharing this. Serving in the 44th Infantry 324th Regiment Co. G, My Grandfather was Browning Automatic Rifleman and was badly wounded by heavy artillery somewhere near this on November 17th 1944. He suffered his whole life but never complained. He was as tough as they come. I never knew he was disabled until he was way up in age. Worked hard his whole life. There will never be another generation of people as great as this one.
Never met my grandfather from the 44th. My dad says he never liked talking about the war. Had the bronze star and a presidential unit citation but would never talk about combat
Any more information on this group? I’d love to come out for an event. My grandfather served in K Co. 324th IN. I have their regimental highlights book and his war diary
