Preserving The Oral HistorIES of Combat Veterans

COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Ben Martinez | 2nd Battalion Aid Station, 351st Infantry Regiment, 88th Infantry Division - Army

7:42   |   Since the events in Vedriano left him without a battalion surgeon, Martinez's unit was assigned a new one. Occasionally during this time, they were paired up with British troops, and Martinez recalls them behaving differently than US troops. Finally, his unit arrived at the Po Valley and then were assigned to Verona, Italy shortly after. (This interview made possible with the support of HELEN & ED BUDNY.)
