134th Infantry Regiment "All Hell Can't Stop Us"

Cpl. Peter P. Polosky

60th Engineers Combat Battalion, Company C

Corporal Peter P. Polosky was from Nanty-Glo, Pennsylvania.  He was 26 years old, married, with a 6 month old baby when he was drafted.  He worked in the coal mines in western Pennsylvania.  Knowledge of explosives and engineer viewpoints were a plus for the unit he was assigned to.  Three months after he was drafted, in early 1943, FDR put a halt on drafting miners as coal production for the war effort was flagging.  Corporal Polosky passed away in 1995.
