Sorry I have not posted in a while, but I've been extremely busy and I've recently moved from Austin, TX to Corpus Christi, TX.

My mother was cleaning out my grandmother's house and discovered an envelope with an "Alice Echo" newspaper clipping along with several photos. The attached picture is a scan of this newspaper clipping which is describing some of the duties my grandfather's unit participated in. It's a neat little article that I believe was written in the Alice Echo sometime in either 1944 or 1945.

This is some great stuff. Love the newspaper article regarding the 39th's push through Italy. Had never seen that before.

Glad to see that you are back. Missed your great posts. Hope you are happy and situated in your new home.

Good article & pictures, managed to expand them to super size. AL Kincer
