Just started looking and am wondering after I saw this, for it was the 82nd Airborne who were at Sicily, not the 101st. They didn't come into the war until Normandy.

Chick talks about the invasion of Sicily in July of 1943 and the tragedy that occurred with the 101st Air Borne. Filmed 2007 at the studios of WILL, University of Illinois as part of the “WWII Central Illinois Stories” series

I think you will have to make a disclaimer, saying the 101st were stated in error. It happens. Easy to do, especially when trying to recall events which happened so long ago.

Thanks, I'll make that note

Yes, better you do it, than to have a visitor post a note about it on the page. This way you are on top of it! Really love the page. So cool you got interviews with your dad too.

My Dad served in the 10th engineers from N. Africa to Germany.  I am publishing his diary 70 years to the day he wrote it.

 

I keep track of the men mentioned in my Dad's diary and list them on this page:  http://70yearsago.com/reference/

 

Look forward to hearing from anyone about the 10th.

Hi John,

I recently purchased a small 10th ECB photo album from ebay and am wondering if they might be something that you'd like scans of for your site and or etc?

Just an FYI that I tried to contact you via 70yearsago.com but had no luck getting through.
