Letters to Wilma will trace the path of a WWII Army doctor from training on Cape Cod, to landing D-Day plus 6 in Normandy, and concluding 1400 miles later in Leipzig, Germany. Greg's path included the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of the slave labor camp at Nordhausen, with the 438th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. Wilma became his wife, and I their fourth child.
[Note from FOURTHCHILD: Here is the newspaper clipping from the Salem Evening News, referred to in Greg's letter on this date. As usual, his last name is edited out for privacy reasons.]
