THE “GREEN HELL OF THE HURTGEN”
Below:
Personal items I recovered from a 2 man American foxhole, (28th Infantry Division -110th Infantry), in the Hurtgen, in October 2018. Items include 2 civilian silver spoons, a coffee ration packet, various kit buttons, shrapnel, M1 Garand rifle bullets, Garand ammo clip, an Artillery uniform button, knife, wire and the best discovery of all – a sewing thimble.
This discovery tells a story. The soldier was obviously sewing buttons onto his uniform and eating and drinking his rations, in this freezing foxhole, before German mortars have hit their positions. (because i found German mortar shells nearby, crators and several other foxholes)
