 Joseph
Hall
as a young 2nd Lt. (date
location unknown) |
 . Awarded 2 Silver Stars and the British Military Cross, Lt. Joseph Hall,
D Co. sports a German Luger pistol somewhere in Holland, 1944.
508th vet Roger Kitchen recalls "Joe was a replacement in Holland and
went on to participate in the Battle of the Bulge also. He stayed in the
military and was a three war veteran with service in WW-2, Korea and Vietnam.
He eventually retired a Colonel."
Roger also said, "Hall and Roseberry were buddies of mine, but the
two of them were a little bit different than me. I was interested in doing
what I had to do, and those guys were the type that, if things were quiet,
which wasn't often, [they] would go out on patrol and try to liven things
up when we were in Belgium. In other words, they went out looking for trouble
a lot. I recall them going out once, in Belgium, and I asked Rosey what
the story was. He told me that they were going to sit under a bridge they
expected the Germans to attack across, and once the enemy was across that
they'd open up on them with their Tommy guns. I told Rosey he was nuttier
than a fruitcake and so was Hall. I asked him what the hell two guys would
do if a thousand krauts crossed the bridge! Rosey said ''you worry
too much, Kitch. If they use the bridge, we'll have them trapped between
us and you guys here on the line'. Luckily, no attack came!" |
