At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
RED WARRIOR BABCOCK WRITES BOOK
Written by our own Bob Babcock!
The 4th Infantry Division (4ID) was the Utah Beach assault division at H-Hour, D-Day, June 6, 1944; a liberator of the port city of Cherbourg on June 25, 1944; part of the St. Lo breakout on July 25, 1944; and a liberator of Paris on August 25, 1944. On September 11, 1944, 4ID troops were the first to breach the “impenetrable” Siegfried Line. In November 1944, they slugged it out with the Germans in the Hurtgen Forest, their toughest fight of the war. December found them holding the southern shoulder of the Battle of the Bulge. January through early May 1945 saw their second penetration of the Siegfried Line, the battle of Prum, and a constant pursuit of the retreating German army into their homeland.
The 4ID was a key unit in winning the European theater of World War II, as were many other units. Included are their training days, their fighting days, and their return home to become the “Greatest Generation.”
Told from the daily after action reports, excerpts from books written by 4ID Soldiers and historians, personal stories written by 4ID veterans, and other sources make this the all-inclusive history of the 4th Infantry Division in World War II – from June 1940 to March 1946.
DENNIS WITT PUBLISHES HIS FIRST BOOK - STORIES FROM THE FIELD
Red Warrior (C/1/12 & HHC/1/12 – 66-67) Dennis Witt has just published a book about life in the infantry in Vietnam. The book is titled ‘Infantry Life: Vietnam’s Central Highlands 1966 – 1967’.
The book is a collection of short stories and pictures describing experiences he had as an infantryman in Vietnam. Following is a blurb about the book:
Dennis began writing the stories simply as a legacy for his family and friends. After he finished the 70th story, he decided the collection of short stories, taken as a whole, generally described what life was like for him and his Red Warrior brothers over that year they shared together. After much encouragement, he decided to put them into book form.
All the men that served in the Red Warriors and in the 4th Infantry Division have memories of similar events that were part of their daily lives in the jungles of the Central Highlands. Most of the stories in the book describe events that filled 95 percent of the time infantry men in the 4ID spent in Vietnam.
If you are interested, the book is available through Amazon – both hard copy and Kindle (Search ‘Infantry Life + Witt).
