    On page 243 of After The Battle's Battle of The Bulge Then & Now is a photo of a very youthful looking officer.
    Same pic here.

    Reading about the battle it says he was captured.

    He obviously survived as the picture is post-war & he's a Major but still looks very very young.

    Anyone know anymore about him?
    How old was he in 1944 ?

    "Voices of the bulge: Untold stories from veterans" makes a passing reference to him on P102. where it notes he is Fuller's signal officer.
