my grandfathers uncle Norman was with the 1st infantry from the normandy landing until the end of the war i wish i had been born sooner so i couldve had the chance to know him at an age where i couldve truely appreciated what he had to say and had done, he died in 2003 when i was 5 but my grandfather loved to tell normans stories from the letters he had wrote to my grandfather and thanks to those letters and stories i was able to learn a great deal about Norman and his service that i otherwise never would have known.

My grandad "bob" Robert Nicol Waugh was with them too from Dunkirk through till the end of the war. He was a professional soldier from the age of 19 he started in the dragoons in india. Joined the sherwood foresters during the inter war years. Then he became a policeman in Singapore but arrived back in Canada two days before war broke out in 1939. He got shipped to England and was quickly promoted to Captain because he was one of the few with an military experience. He was a lovely man and even though he died years ago I still miss him every day.

Father was a member of the 1st Infantry Division, 16 Infantry Regiment Company “C” and participated in all combat operations that the 1st Division was involved in beginning with the North African campaign. He told me Aachen, Stolberg, Hurtgen Forest were the toughest. R.I.P. Father. 2 Bronze Stars, Purple Heart.

My Grandpa was apart of the 1st but Co. F. I want to know more because time has since passed. If you’re interested in swapping stories, well their stories, feel free to message. My Grandpa wrote about his experience but kept it light overall. He lead with respect and also introduced me to “Dad Jokes.” I can watch all the documentaries but the true personal accounts have my true respect.

I served in the 1/16 of the 1st infantry division during the 80s. I was always amazed and so proud whenever we brought out our colors for parade formations. It was covered with so many battle streamers, you could not even see the unit flag.

If you are in the western suburbs of Chicago there is a museum in Winfield Il on the grounds of Col McCormick’s estate dedicated to the 1st division. Also you can tour the home. It’s name after the first WW1 battle…. Cantigny.

those 16 metals must have been made of a really heavy metal to be called metals. i thought that they were medals, you know , the kind you get for doing something brave.

@johnruddick686 11 месяцев назад

Yes I can confirm they are medals lol. I have my grandads Military Cross on the wall still along with his sitation and a picture of him receiving it from General Montgomery. So they are definitely medals. 😂
