I just acquired the book Combat History 44 Division 1944-1945. These are pretty rare to come by so I am excited.
I have also come in contact with a lady that has several books left of the 119th Combat Medic Memories. If you are interested in getting this book you can contact me through this blog and I will give you the information on how to get this book.
