Here is a picture of my Dad carrying his carbine. It was taken sometime during the first week of September, 1944. He was a FO for the 47th reg of the 9th Infantry Division but was frequently assigned to other units, as needed. He says he was in the advance group that first crossed the Siegfried Line into Germanyicon.

At 93, he's still around to share stories but he's in poor health and beginning to fade.
