Honoring my father on his 100th birthday
January 4, 2025The first week of January 1945 brought welcome arrivals and a memorable party. The arrivals included Colonel Lionel C. McGarr, who returned to command the men of the 30th Infantry Regiment.[1]
There was also the welcome addition to the 3rd Infantry Division of the 254th Infantry Regiment, the 290th Engineer Combat Battalion, and a French Parachute Battalion that were all attached to the 3rd Division to help hold the almost impossibly wide divisional front.
The 3rd Division was now better prepared to hold their twenty-one-mile front on the north end of the Colmar Pocket, from the Vosges on the west to the Rhine River on the east.[1]
The men knew now that the battle to eliminate the Colmar Pocket would begin very soon.
