 Charles
Hudson (r) and an unidentified friend in photo probably taken in
1943.
Charles is believed to have been in Company C but prior to the
508th deploying overseas he sustained an injury in a practice jump which
is presumed to have occurred at Camp Mackall and he was removed from
jump status.
After recovery, Charles was reassigned to the 90th Infantry
Division and fought with them from Normandy to the Battle of the
Rhineland while, according to his son, "liberating many a wine cellar
along the way." It was an odd twist of fate that Charles' new
unit, the 358th Infantry Regiment, made contact with the 508th from the
beaches on or about June 10. This brought the 508th into the American
lines with them moving to the south and the 358th moving to the west.
Whether Hudson made contact with any of his friends from the 508th is
something unlikely to ever be answered.
Charles was severely wounded during the Battle of
Rhineland and airlifted back to the States in March 1945.
