Dear Mr. Searl:
Thank you for taking such a personal interest in the men of the 56th Signal Battalion. You have a remarkable memory for facts which are of great interest to many of us.
Gus had two brothers in the war. My uncle Mike, a member of the 83rd Infantry Division, was badly wounded at St. Lo. His younger brother Patty (age 19), Pasquale R. Fischetti (A.S. No. 32611060) died of wounds received on November 27, 1943. Because of this, and many of the things he saw during the war, Gus considered himself to be very lucky.
