Our company commander for the invasion, Capt Baushausen,
was killed in October, 1944 while leading an attack against
Tiger tanks. He was replaced by Capt Poly Evans, also
a D-day participant. Capt Evans was later wounded
and replaced. Lieutenant Stanley Sammons, in my
opinion one of the true heroes of the war was
killed on or about Thanksgiving day 1944 while
leading his platoon against the enemy.
I was fortunate enough to survive four campaigns in
World War II and to receive a few decorations including
a Bronze Star for the Normandy Campaign.
of the names I remember in my platoon are the following
George Bruno - Walter Ferguson- Thurston Good
George Jewry- Daniel Barnhart - C Coy. all
these men participated in the invasion on D-day.
I'll finish with this and I certainly hope you
can use some of this information in the book.
I couldbe available for interview with a week's
notice if you so desire.
Sincerely Yours
Francis House
