Battery "B", 991st Field Artillery
Battalion, is shown during the actual mission in which it fired
the first Allied artillery shells to land on German soil in WWII.
The date was September 10, 1944; the firing position was the
village of Dison, Belgium, just north of Verviers; the weapon
was, of course, the M12 self-propelled 155mm gun; and the targets
were in and around the crossroads town of Bildchen, Germany,
near Aachen. |
