Only three days after my joining the 134th at the end of January, I was examined for flu by Cpt Stillman in Warsage. He then sent me to the General Hospital in Liege by ambulance which was overflown by a V-1 Buzz Bomb. The hospital sent me back to Warsage because my temperature wasn't quite 105 degrees, the minimum necessary for evacuation to the south of France to recover, which was
Dr. Stillman's thought. It was all right with me at 19, after all I had come to fight.
My MG squad was quartered somewhat comfortably in a straw-filled barn. The farmer's wife took charge of my "case", heating a tub of water and ordering me
to strip and climb in. Then, wrapped in the blankets of my bed roll and downing
a quart of hot K-Ration lemonade and much aspirin, I awoke the next morning
fully prepared to earn my pay serving my Country.
And only months later, Herr Hitler killed himself. (I'm just saying...)

If anyone would like to read my father's after action British SAS report then go to Wikipedia and look for Operation PISTOL.
His report is C3 group report written by SQMS J Alcock 2 SAS - at the end he describes capturing the American position.

My father captured an American infantry position of the American fourth armoured division on the first of October 1944. He was a British soldier and thankful the Americans had hesitated and not opened fire.

My father captured an American outpost position of the 4th Armored Division on the morning of the first of October 1944. he did not kill the American occupants as he was a British SAS soldier who had been operating behind the german lines for two weeks. he blew up a train in Alsace.

Hi. My father, Frederick William Adler, also served in the 134th, AAA Gun BN. My dad also received medals including the Victory Medal, the American Theater Service Medal, the European-African-Middle Eastern Service Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal and bronze service stars for the Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europe, and Ground Combat. Do you have your dad's medals? If so, could you send me a color photo? Since I don't have my dad's medals and stars, I would like to see if I can get replacements, but I need to know what I'm looking for. Thanks! Marianne Adler

This pictorial archive is fantastic! My maternal grandfather is Clarence Caton. Being able to see him again in photos I've never seen was heartwarming. Thanks.

My dad's cousin, Art Billman, was among those killed. I have a copy of a letter that he wrote to my dad's parents. He was unable to send it airmail because they were out of stamps. This delayed it being received I think because it went through the APO system. Ironically, the postmark on the envelope was Sept 30th which was 10 days after he was killed. If anyone still remembers him, I would love to hear from you.
