Dom Butgenbach

This is very interesting. When I was stationed in Germany in the late 1980s, my battalion (1-48 Inf (M)) did a Professional Development tour of this area. I spent a couple of nights in Bullingen. William C.C. Cavanagh, who wrote the book "Krinkelt-Rocherath, the Battle for the Twin Villiages," took us on a terrain walk of the fighting in this area. It was a very good tour. He grew up there and then studied the North Shoulder fighting. I have a signed copy of his book. I believe or not, I have not read it yet. So I just went and fond it and put in in the 'to read' pile.

1-48th's lineage and honors went back to the 23rd Armored Infantry Battalion which fought at St. Vith.

Attached is the signed title page of the book.
