Kategoriat:

In this episode I am joined by Jessica Waszak, Assistant Curator at the First Division Museum at Cantigny Park. Jessica has researched Army Medical Units and Nurses, the 48/128th Hospital in particular, and shares part of their incredible story and some of the challenges facing 1st Infantry Division soldiers and medical personnel during their time in North Africa (1942-1943). The staff at the First Division Museum are extremely generous with their time and have agreed to provide several episodes this year, and will likely contribute to future series as well. The museum also put me in touch with COL (Ret.) Greg Fontenot who will be sharing a 3-part episode on 1ID and Army history this year, and future stories as well. In addition to 1ID history, the 45th Infantry Division Museum and Oklahoma National Guard are contributing stories and episodes, there will be 3ID history, and Airborne history, among many other topics coming up :) Several other future topics come up in the last half of this episode with Jessica.
