[QUOTE="carleb, post: 2364176, member: 2353"] Then your father, I suspect, was a hell of a man!! Sorry I did not know him! My father, James I. Boston, was there, although it was as part of the 3rd Army relief. Although the 4th Armored Division led the way, the 10th Armored Division (my father's) was there and did it's part. He said the Sherman he was in was like a deep freezer, but he really felt for the guys that spent days with their feet on the ground. The cold was terrible! He has quite a few pictures of himself and his buddies/crew mainly taken as the battle wore down and the situation improved. He turned 92 on October 10th. I understand that one of the battle groups of the 10th Armored was in Bastogne when the Germans began their attack and they were very hard pressed. This was before the arrival of the 101st, when they saved the day and made sure they had the press to prove it. :) [/QUOTE]
