Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day? Yes many of them

Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they beoame
casualties? Yes several of them were from my home
Town of Pgh. We made a bargin that if anything
happen to anyone of us the other would stop and see
the others family after the War was over which
I did for several.

Were you wounded? yes- but not on D-Day
I was wounded in the assault on St-Lo July 18 1944

Do you remember what it was like--that is, do you remember whether you
so surprised that you felt nothing?
you felt no pain the first day for I think you are yoo
excited to fell anything

Do you remember seeing or hearing anything that seems funny now, even
though it did not, of course, seem amusing at the time?
Don't care to comment on thsi question

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic, or simply memorable, which struck
you more than anything else? Yes I recall something sad as I
lay on the cliffs and watched our Medics trying to get
some of our wounded on the L.C.V.P's the Germans
would machine gun thems They didn't have a chance
for that Big Red Cross they wore ment nothing
to the enemy.
