    Kewl! I just got out of class and have to work now, but I'll try to get everybody a good one tomorrow morning. And now I can't use the "what famous GI was in the 45th" question....heehee-

    Alright, I have an intensive class all weekend so I haven't had time for a real doozey, but at least this easy one will give someone else a chance to play. What is the popular name of the last bridge over the Rhine, and what is the real name? For bonus, what was the 1st Amd. and 1st. Inf. division (US) to cross it?

    Well, both names are right, 9th Armored was the first Division over period, and the 99th Infantry division was the first whole inf. div. to go over. Although I think that the 47th Rgt. of the 9th Div. may have gone over, just as a Regt., before the 99th Div. Now, who's up to bat.....

    G'day Bish

    Would this be the "Wurtembergischen Gebirgsbatallion" with which he won the "Pour la Merite" medal?

    Sorry Bull

    Hadn't seen your reply as I was too busy looking it up, just missed your answer by 15 minutes.
    Should have gotten up earlier.
    Is the answer correct?? Lets hear it from Bish

    I'd started to despair of ever getting one right!

    OK, here's an easy trivia question : Lance Sergeant J D Baskeyfield won a posthumous VC at Arnhem, taking on at least two German Stug IIIs at point-blank range with two different six-pounder a/t guns.

    At the junction of which two streets in Oosterbeek . . . ?
