It is with as heavy heart and my deepest sympathy that we belatedly learn of the passing of another of our Distinguished Veterans and a Valued Comrade. In a phone call from Ralph Larsen to Gene Hermann we learned that his Father, Mr. Lauren B. Larsen, Hq 2, 193rd GIR, passed away on 3 January 2009. With an assist from Gene Hermann, Ed Siergiej and the Cavallin Funeral Home I was able to contact the Family to obtain the information for this message.

Should you wanting to get US Army WW-2 Helmets M-1 or M-2 (I don’t deal with M-1C) you can now re-order them right on my website as I have worked with the manufacturer of these original but refurbished helmets in the past (2001-2006) and I have decided to re-start this business because lot of Museums all around the Globe are still searching for helmets.
Si vous avez l’intention de faire l’acquisition de casques US M-1 et/ou M-2, je ne joue pas avec le M-1C, vous pouvez désormais passer par EUCMH. J’ai pendant les années 2001-2006 vendu pas mal de casques et sous-casque pour le fabricant puis j’avais arrêté. Comme la demande semble reprendre j’envisage désormais de recommencer ce business d’autant plus que le fabricant est désormais en Australie, ce qui augmente considérablement les frais de port.
Voici quelques exemples de réalisation en M-1 et M-2.

The rest of that day is history. Personally, I spent it praying for the invaders … and, like the rest of his official family, aching with sympathy for our apprehensive Boss.
Gen Eisenhower stood the appalling strain for another day. Then, in the early morning of June 7 it was 0720-H, just twenty-six hours after H-Hour he left for Normandy’s beaches. I fled to the lonely comfort of our trailer-headquarters. Working on the General’s “fan mail” never seemed so difficult, so unimportant; but it helped smother worries.

I am not sure but this post may be a double post because I have the feeling I have already posted it. One thing I am sure about is that I didn’t post the original photos online. So if or not, here are the original photos sent to me by a relative of Raymond Crisp, as well as what happen to photos and documents sent to me by Veterans or relatives.

La suite du travail sur Verviers 1940-1945 au jour le jour et encodé bénévolement par notre petite nouvelle dans l’équipe EUCMH. Anne Catherine, qui termine une formation de secrétaire et qui, dans sa vallée perdues de la région de Trois-Ponts – Basse-Bodeux cherche désespérément un travail m’a proposé de faire un peu de bénévolat et de reprendre à sa charge la digitalisation de l’un de mes livres préférés : Verviers, 5 ans de Guerre au jour le jour. Ce travail aura le mérite de mettre sur Internet une oeuvre unique car il n’existe pas, à ma connaissance, un autre livre qui reprend cinq années de guerre et d’occupation principalement centré sur une région comme celle du grand Verviers. Donc, avec l’arrivée de Véronique (France – Normandie) qui travail déjà comme une enragée à la digitalisation d’archives, voici Anne Catherine qui rejoint l’équipe. Tout ceci ne sera finalement qu’au profit des visiteurs du site mais je pense – comme le dit la célèbre campagne de publicité – que vous le valez bien.

I am thinking about re-doing the maximum of World War Two photos I will be able to identify. I have already several 100 photos to do but if you have World War Two photos (NA-TO or ETO) send me good scans and I will try to get other friends at it to in South France or Italy.
Here is a “Then & Now” photo of the Hotel des Bruyères in the center of Francorchamps. Photos, the Hotel on January 26 1945 and November 11 2009. Note that the hotel is located 500 meters from the Race Track.
