I see General Patch’s Seventh Army mentioned in these articles, and that’s who my dad served with. On occasion I still hear new stories about his adventures in the war. At 94 he remembers the events of WWII more clearly than he does things that happened last week. And that’s not really a surprise, what he witnessed is the sort of thing that would be etched in anyone’s mind, the things that movies are made of. What happened last week is pretty ordinary.
I was in Patch’s army too. It was called the 7th Army. So his trail was pretty similar to mine. {I’m coming up to 90] - Regards,
