"Irvin Bloom came to F Co. in Africa. Seemed to be a favorite college man and was a good officer. He knew how to handle his men and told a good Jewish joke. He commanded F Co. while I was in the hospital in Africa with jaundice. The men loved him (not much discipline). He went to G Co. right before Normandy. He was killed in the first couple of days. G Co. was down to 3 men at one time and went back to England with 13 men. E and F Co. did most of the front line and I always think that F Co. got the most duty. We went back to England with 48 men...." "Harold Hahn, a mystery man. Reported to have come from Hollywood. Knew Latin and could understand Spanish. We talked to Italian girls through him. He was a good officer. Kept a low profile. He maybe remained in England. I'd like to know what happened to him." ~ Joe Gault, 28 May 2002 |
