'A' Company was billeted in various buildings, with Amos's boys away on the outskirts of town. There had been quite a battle between the 5th Infantry Division and the Germans for possession of the town. All the buildings we were in had many shell holes and broken windows. During most of our stay in Louvigny, we battled the cold and spent our free time scouring the neighborhood for fire wood and souvenirs. Our ever alert G-2 came through with another paratroop story, so out went the 1st and 2nd platoons for outpost duty. We never did decide which worried us more, freezing to death or being attacked by snow covered bushes.
