D Company History |
"At 0730 the Co. with attch. MG moved appr. six miles S of Fabrica on
logging train and stopped at Bn. CP. While stopped at the Bn CP at the
Dian-Ay Bridge, a B-24 dropped
a
stick of bombs across the area and Sgt Keller, Cpl Burnett,
and Pvts. Emery, Lewis, and Howe slightly wounded. The Co. moved about 5
mi S of The Bn CP and set up a perimeter. At 1300 the CO, Lt.
Gifford, and the 1st squad of the 1st plt. left
on a security patrol around the Co. perimeter. No enemy were
contacted. At 1300 the 3d plt, Lt
Watkins, moved west to find a possible crossing place on the Himaagan
River. The patrol returned at, 1730 and reported a possible crossing

I believe the company is off on their dates here. The 2d Battalion
Journal gives the bombing mishap as 13 July. The F Company History also
gives it as 13 July. At this date
the 2d
Battalion the battalion was not gathered at Fabrica with the exception
of E Company as far as I can
determine. The F Company History states that the company readied to move
to Fabrica 9 July. The 8 July entry of
the Regimental History states that the 2d Battalion had moved to Fabrica,
but I think they are wrong. |
