English: Scanned in image of copy of the letter sent to soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of Bastogne. The original letter imaged here is from the memorabilia of Private William (Bill) Wheeler, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division who participated in the action. He trained at Toccoa and was originally with Headquarters Company. Private Wheeler volunteered for pathfinder school, participated in the D-Day drop as a pathfinder during which his transport airplane made a controlled ditching in the English Channel after being hit by anti-aircraft fire, and ended up in Easy Company as a replacement. He participated in the Holland Jump (A Bridge Too Far), the defense of Bastogne, and other actions completing his tour with Easy Company in Austria at war's end. |
