During the war he was a private first class in Company G, 422nd Regiment of the 106th Infantry Division. After receiving ASTP training at University of Alabama he joined the 106th at Camp Atterbury in Indiana where he earned "Expert" rifleman honors and was designated Co. G Sniper and Regimental Scout. Having missed transfer as a replacement into other divisions he and the rest of the 106th found themselves placed on the front lines inside Germany on the eve of the Battle of the Bulge. 50 years later he recalls his experience.
