e-mail from Randall H. Vick(24 Dec 99)
My dad was a 1st Lt. Co E. 255th Infantry. He landed in France
12-14-44 and moved to the extreme NE corner of France where
his unit crossed the Rhine. He later was assigned to 1st Platoon, Co
E. and led his company across a mine field into Germany at 0100
3-15-45. His unit then moved into the Siegfried Line on 3-17-45.
that afternoon his unit suffered 71 killed and wounded. My brothers
and I would like any and all information regarding movements and
locations of his unit and names of anyone he may have served with.
My name is Randall H. Vick and I was born 3-18-45, the day my
dad was wounded. My address is 4333 Carolina St. Grand Prairie,
Tx 75052, Phone 972-263-6545. I would greatly appreciate any
information you can provide. Thank you and God Bless. (Note: We
show Capt Ross W. Vick Sr as serving in E,F & K Companies,
255th Infantry Regiment and being wounded once in Jan and again
in March 1945. Mr Vick has been advised how to get specific
printed matter relating to the 255th. Subsequent messages from Mr.
Vick indicated that he and his brothers were going to join the 63rd
Inf Div Assn, attend the next reunion and donate to the 255th
Regimental Flag Fund)
