Welcome to France

DDay + 4, Normandy, France. We just arrived from England and are awaiting orders to go inland. The NCOs assigned to my squad are Sergeants Dick Beigel and Bill Beigel.




Left to right, Lt Kurt Hsu, Sgt Dick Beigel, Sgt Bill Beigel, waitng for orders.

Lt. Kurt Hsu, CA., is an engraver by trade. He signed up because he thought with a little combat experience, he could make General by the end of the war.

Sgt. Dick Beigel, Los Angeles, CA, is a farmer. He joined the army to kill Nazis.

Sgt. Bill Beigel, Los Angeles, CA, is fresh out of school so the army is all he knows. He enjoys the camraderie of sharing a foxhole with his fellow soldiers.
