A propos de cet article

Dust jacket is rather worn, faded at the spine, and has several external clear tape repairs along edges and vertically between spine and back panel where the jacket is nearly separated. ; Illus. , maps, copy belonging to a former member of the 463d Parachute Field Artillery Battalion of the 101st. His name printed in ink on the upper right of ffep, also a "property of" bookplate on front pastedown, he was with HQ of 463d. On half-title page, pages mentioning the battalion are written in ink. Mentions of 463d throughout book are underlined in ink. Most of the underlined passages refer to the destruction of 18 German tanks near Hemroulle, Battle of Champs, Dec. 24-25, 1944. Also on page 683 (which is the only page number in list on half-title page that he'd put a star next to) this passage is underlined, "At about the same time unofficial word came that an entire battalion might be withdrawn from the 101st. The report was that the 463d Parachute Field Artillery Battalion, which had been attached to the 101st at Mourmelon just in time to make the Bastogne trip was to be replaced by another parachute field artillery battalion. General Taylor protested to General Brereton, Commanding General of the First Allied Airborne Army saying "I am strongly opposed to such a substitution. The 463d is firmly united with this Division and any change will result in a serious loss of morale and efficiency both to the Division and to the Battalion." The 101st remembered Christmas Day when the German tanks broke through the infantry and the 463d threw out a last-ditch skirmish line and depressed the muzzles of their 75mm howitzers; their present to the Division was three tanks and sixteen Germans. From that day on they had a home in the 101st; and APO 472 was to be their address for the rest of the war." Dust jacket is now in a clear protector. Nice association copy, previously owned by someone who was obviously very proud of his Battalion. ; 830 pages.…
