Editor's Note: Memories of the European experience will blur with the passing of
years. Accuracy will diminish. Details will become vague and half forgotten. T o record, i n black
and white here and now, the mood, the impressions, the exciting events of the worst days and the
best is the purpose of these stories. Connecticut men of the 2nd were asked for their own stories
and i n their own words they are here so recorded:
