Hello all! Pennsylvania checking in Stumbled in from a Google search looking for some info on the 18th INF (found the post from 2012 about Africa), my Father was in D Company 18th INF 81mm mortar crew. 1942-1945 8 Campaigns. I'm trying to follow his "footsteps" but am really interested in finding out more about what happened with him in Heistern Germany around 22 November 1944. After his death in 2019 I was going through his paperwork and found he was awarded a Second Device for his Bronze Star w/ "V" after the war. He had never discussed this with anyone in the family and never wore it on his medal(?) He served up till 1980 with the PA Air National Guard. I would really like to find out more about what happened, we did find a copy of the original citation and I found some info, basically a mini-citation like I have (less info) on the 1st Division website. I'm going to go do some searching now on here, thanks for the welcome. Bruce
Hi Bruce. Welcome. His name and any other relevant information would give us a leg up on finding more on his exploits.
