Nicasio C. Sifuentes: One Week at the Front
(Company A, 10th Armored Infantry Battalion, 4th Armored Division)
In the summer of 1944, as Allied forces fought to break free from the hedgerows of Normandy, losses mounted quietly and relentlessly. For many families back home, the war would be reduced to a single telegram, a short list of personal effects, and a grave thousands of miles away.
One of those men was Private Nicasio C. Sifuentes.
He was twenty-one years old.

I'm trying to find out about a veteran who was with the 3rd Infantry under Patton. The only info I have is a basic training image has the unit flag: RTC 207C Infantry Name: James Anderson Foster Jr from NCThe World War II Dead of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)
Hi Bill, Thanks for putting this together. My grand uncle, 2nd Lt. Robert L. Woolfolk attended UCLA and I believe he graduated in 1936. He was on the waterpolo team. He was a bombardier in the 571st Bomb Squadron, 390th Bomb Group and his aircraft "Decatur Deb" was shot down on May 28, 1944. He and six others perished while three were able bail out and became POWs. This is written up the in the book "Bloody Skies: U.S. Eighth Air Force Battle Damage in World War II." There is a B-17G tail gunner's compartment on display at the 390th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, which is dedicated to this crew. Regards, Nick VeronicoBill’s WW2 Almanac for January 21: Featuring Col.
