Description
An account of the resource
Kitagawa discusses his unit, the teamwork that made them bond and the toughness of losing a friend in the war. He talks a bit more about Camp Shelby, including the weather, before talking about his shipment to Italy. Once arrived, he would immediately notice the poor conditions of the city and would occasionally talk with civilians. After this, he talks about sending letters to family back home and some of his war experiences, meeting up with the 100th Infantry Battalion and marching on from Italy to France. In France, he would liberate Bruyeres and rescue the Lost Battalion.
