For a friend of mine, who has adopted the grave of pvt Emilio C. Laquidara, ASN 42051583, with I Company of the 36 Armored Infantery Regiment of the 3rd Arm. Div. K.I.A. 13 August 1944, burried at Margraten Cemetary Netherlands I'm looking for more information about the fighting in the vicinity of the french town Pre en Pail (or Pre en Paul) were pvt Laquidara was killed. I know this was in the battle of the Falaise pocket, but nothing more Anyone who can help ?
Here's a little bit of info regarding action around Pre-en Pail from a paper about the 3rd AD, see pages 5-7 in the document itself, not the Adobe page count. It's around 7MB so takes a bit to load, at least with my lame DSL: http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/utils/getfile/collection/p124201coll2/id/475/filename/476.pdf
