COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Lou Mafrice | A Company, 83rd Medical Battalion, 13th Armored Division - Army

7:58   |   "I want to be a machine gunner on a tank." That's what Lou Mafrice told the interviewer at the newly formed 13th Armored Division. So, of course, they sent him to the medical battalion, where he became a halftrack driver, among other things. As the unit prepared to deploy to the European Theater, they discovered they were short one radioman. Lou had another job.
