     "DARK DECEMBER" is an historic month for the 106th It was early in December, 1942, that its original cadre was selected, mainly from officers and non-coms of the 80th Division, then at Camp Forrest. December 1, 1944, found us crossing the Channel from England, landing at Le Harve and Rouen, and beginning the march to Germany and combat. Before this Cub is in print, the annual rush of articles "analyzing" the Battle of the Bulge will have been published, although the Cold War and a much hotter war in Vietnam will claim the headlines.
     The Army has recently published an authentic account of the Ardennes Campaign, revealing many aspects which we could not have known at that time. But the 106th was there and none will forget the snow, cold, the "starkness of small-unit combat and the response of soldiers fighting in isolation against tremendous odds," which characterized battle experiences of the 106th.
     December also is a favorite time for local reunions under far happier circumstances. Anna and I plan to be with some of you for at least one of these dinners, and hope that all of them will see a renewal of interest and attendance by members who have not been around lately, especially those who could not come to past conventions.
     But, above all, December is the holiday season for young and old. May it find each and every one of you enjoying a very Merry Christmas and looking forward to a full, happy and prosperous New Year in 1966
Joe Matthews

     It is a genuine pleasure to report progress in this department. In response to membership requests we now have one hundred ninety-seven paid-up members for the current year, though we had only 201 total for all of last year. Undoubtedly, a number of others will renew before too long and thus take us over the top. This support is very much appreciated by your officers, and it keeps the treasurer solvent too.
     Your Adjutant is properly proud to be associated with this loyal group of former Golden Lions. I am also greatly pleased and interested by the informative notes which you send along with your remittances telling us of your vocations and avocations, and of your children of all ages and of their activities. A number of groups are planning "Battle of the Bulge" meetings this year. I hope many of you can be present. Ours is at Ft. McPherson again and we hope our good President, Joe Matthews, can be there.
     We have recently made the initial grant to the John Beals Memorial Fund and I am sure Doug Coffey will report elsewhere on this. As usual, Doug is doing his best to make our fund worthwhile.
     According to all the merchants around, Christmas is upon us. From my house to your house, may each of you have a wonderful holiday season.
May we stop a moment and think of ourselves 21 years ago. May we thank

our Maker for his generosity to us, and may we say a prayer for our fallen comrades.
     Finally, in closing, I hope you all feel as a good member from Middletown, N. Y. said, "Six children continue to grow, but, oddly enough, I stay young as ever."
Sherod Collins

     This year, marking the coming-of-age anniversary of The Battle of the Bulge, finds the world still in a turmoil. To me and, no doubt, to most of those who actively served in World War II, it is a lamentable and disappointing situation. Our hopes, like those of our forefathers in other wars, were high that our service would help to establish an era of peace throughout the world. But, apparently, our aspirations are not to be fulfilled in the near future.
     Thus, our efforts should be directed more forcibly to the principles of peace and justice for all peoples. Our actions should demonstrate that we espouse the cause of brotherhood for all men. Our nation, founded, nurtured and prospered under the belief in a wise and just Providence, can ask of us no less. As we remember and celebrate the joys and blessings of Chanukah and Christmas, may we look forward to the New Year with a firm resolve to serve in our homes, communities and nation as Almighty God directs us and gives us the strength to do His will.
"May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace! -- Psalm 29:11.
John T. Loveless, Jr.


DUES ARE DUE!

Dear Mr. Coffey
     Each year our history class "adopts" an Infantry Division for the school year. During the term they do research at every opportunity in order to find out as much about the division as possible. This information is then put into a permanent file, and in time, we will have a complete history of practically every Infantry Division. Children for years to come will use this file when they need information on the military aspects of World War II
     Information on the 106th is limited, to say the least. My students were both disappointed and a little confused that material on the Division which took all the brunt of the attack during the Bulge should be so hard to find. My students are especially desirous of obtaining a patch or even a picture of one so that they can reproduce it on posters. I tried the usual places you do try in cases like this, but to no avail. Finally I wrote to the Secretary of the Army and was informed that you were the Division Representative. Do you suppose you could find a patch for us and some information on your Division? I feel this is something history owes to the "Lion Division." To say the least, I feel when I get all the stuff together and the children get to appreciate men like you, we won't have so much draft card burning. Any assistance you could render me here, Mr. Coffey, would be greatly appreciated.
Joseph T. Ryan, History Department, Neptune High School, N. J.

Dear Mr. Coffey
     Many thanks for your trouble in sending us information on the 106th. My students, who were not even born in 1944, asked me to extend their congratulations and thanks to the Lion Men.

     The city of Washington bears as little resemblance to the town of St. Vith as does the broad Potomac to the little river Our. The people who live on the banks of the two rivers are unlike politically, economically and in historical background. Even their holidays are different, except for one day held sacred in both countries.
     On the eve of that day fourteen years past, these two found themselves, very suddenly, on common ground not only in celebration but in surprise, apprehension and anger. One, because of the fear of destruction, the other because its armies in Europe were abruptly imperiled. The fear of the inhabitants of the Our valley was realized, but the foreboding of the people of the Potomac was allayed within a few weeks, and the end of the war could then be foreseen. Hope for the future appeared bright and eloquent prediction of a world living in peace and harmony was heard everywhere.
     The paragraphs above appeared in this column for December, 1959. Now, in 1965, a full generation has passed since we were in St. Vith and our children (in some cases grandchildren) are of age and are being prepared for future leadership in their world. Our concern must center on the environment in which they will begin their task, the sort of world we are turning over to them. It will certainly be a complicated one and since we do not feel qualified to write authoritatively on such a subject, we shall take a look at the contemporary news and see if it can give us a hint as to the direction we are headed. The day chosen is the day we received a deadline notice from our respected editor. Dick mailed the notice on November 24 and it arrived on the 27th. The Pony Express made that distance in one day back when the Republicans had control. This, then, is the day we shall examine, headline by headline.

     The weather was sparkling, the crowd dull and geared only to negative demands. Many were long haired and bearded but, as one reporter stated, "most non-muscular." The signs they carried were as meaningless as such signs usually are, but there was only a minimum of non-partisan spectators to view them. Except for the propaganda advantage given Hanoi, their effort was a flop. However, there are always a few operators present. Vietcong flags sold for $10 per copy; the estimated cost of material, labor and distribution per flag, 65 cents.

     The Federal deficit will be between 8.5 and 10.5 billion dollars. This headline speaks for itself, loudly and eloquently. We do not know whether the news is good or bad but it seems certain that there will be no change of fiscal policy in our time.

We don't know how they expected to get away with such a theft, but it turned out all right.

     An unsatisfactory result no matter which was your team. Not too exciting this year especially on TV where commercials were frequent and of poor quality.

     This dispatch originated in Portland, Oregon and had something to do with Go-Go dances. We do not believe that it had international implications.

     A society of winegrowers today promised the first French cosmonaut his own weight in wine each year of his remaining life. We think this is very generous.

     We do not think this is very generous at all. The advertising for British photographic equipment should have paid for

4

the trip, and they were certainly better to look at than their four compatriots who toured the country.

     These were the seven headlines that told of one busy day in the U. S. We do not think that we have proved much of anything except that nothing has changed in the last 21 years. Perhaps the world has advanced in technological productivity but very little in ethical achievement. Perhaps the city of Washington still bears little in common with the town of St. Vith, but so long as our world still celebrates Christmas and Easter, there is hope.

     This history, one of a series of the U. S. Army in World War II, written by Hugh M. Cole, was published early this summer by the office of Chief of Military History, Department of the Army. It is dedicated to ". . . Those Who served." That, of course, includes the Golden Lions.
Those of us who fought in this battle will be interested in the following Chapters:
Chapter VII-- Breakthrough at the Schnee Eifel
Chapter XII-- The First Attacks at St. Vith
Chapter XVI-- The Fight at the Baraque De Fraiture Crossroads
Chapter XVII-- St. Vith is Lost
     In a note to Chapter VII, it states as follows: "Colonel R. Ernest Dupuy has written a very good semi-official history entitled, St. Vith: Lion in the Way, the 106th Infantry Division in World War II (Washington, Infantry Journal Press, 1949). "Dupuy's work has been heavily drawn on, but the reader will find several points at which Dupuy and the present account differ."
     This history may be purchased from the Supt. of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402. Price $7.50.

College episcopal
St-Vith, le November 5th 1965
Dear Mr. Coffey:
Many thanks for your letter of October 1st.
     I was much pleased with concrete suggestions and I gladly accept them. It won't be difficult to find some interesting books or reference works for an amount of $100.00 which we would use in the library. If you wish, we shall mention the name of your member Mr. John Beal in the works.
     There are also boys enough-- attending our school-- who should welcome a financial help very much. The school-fees (for boarders) are 14,000 frs. a year ($280.00) while the general expenses for books, copy-books .. etc.. . are about 2,000 frs. (about $40). I think that your suggestion means to make a contribution to the general expenses rather than to the school-fees for boarders..
     The students of the upper forms certainly will make efforts to write a good essay on the given subjects, especially as you have promised a reward for the best one.
     I should be very glad to see your proposition accomplished suggesting to bring one of our students to the United States.
     May I say to your information that your remittances might be made through our bank account No. 185 585 00 Bischofliche Schule St-Vith-Banque de la Societe Generale de Belgique in Verviers.
     For our part we can assure you that we shall keep on looking after the monument. These next days, it will have a new coat of paint. May I add that regularly visitors come to see the place. A few months ago General Baker and his wife paid a visit to the Memorial. Once more, on behalf of the school, I thank you very much for your kindness.

Will We See You In Indianapolis?

Dear Dick,
     I had a very pleasant surprise a couple of weeks ago, when my old Army buddie, Bud F. Lainhart, Co. F, 424th Inf., of Franklin, Ohio, stopped by with his wife and spent the night with us. Bud and I took basic training together down at Camp Blanding, Fla. We hadn't seen each other since before going overseas. It was a short night after we got everything talked over. He knew of the Association, but didn't know how to get in. I took care of that part. I'm sending his dues to Sherod Collins.

    Dear Dick, Time sure passes by fast. Here it is Cub time again and I am just now getting around to writing you (after being prompted by you).
     It seems everyone I have talked to or heard from, wants to visit Camp Atterbury next summer, when at the Reunion. Again, I will say I have contacted the Camp Atterbury Post Commander and have been promised the grand tour of the camp, plus that chicken barbecue picnic I promised you all. In case of rain they will furnish us a building (if Camp Atterbury is still around, and they do expect to be around for some time yet). They have a bunch of Job Corps men plus a small amount of National Guard there. So the prospect looks bright as of now.
     Also, I might add, I visited Bernard Herbert, of Div. QM, on my last trip to Indianapolis, and Bernie has promised to help in any way possible.
     I promise we'll do all we possibly can to make the 20th Annual Convention a good one. After all, we don't want Doug to run us out of town.
J. Russell Enlow Taswell, Ind.

Dear Dick,
     I am enclosing an interesting letter. At least we are known a little bit on the outside. I complied with this request, sent a history of the 106th and one of our auto license Lions, and referred him to Sherod for further information.
     "Doug Coffey and Isabel took Doctor DeLaval in hand on his recent trip to the States. With the wonderful cooperation of General Jones, who was able, on very short notice, to gather together General Bruce Clarke, General Baker and Robert Phillips and their wives for a lovely dinner at the Army-Navy Club in Washington. Doctor DeLaval and Jany were most appreciative of the Coffeys' and the Jones' efforts to meet in one place their special friends in the States.
     "We have already embarked on our John Beals Scholarship Fund. The sum of $50.00 has been sent to Belgium for books which will be inscribed with the 106th and John Beals' name.
     "Doug Coffey has already sponsored an essay contest at the College Patronee in the name of the Ben Hagman Scholarship. Doug hopes others may want to share in this in the future and expand the programs. Just as the motto of the Veterans of Foreign War is 'Honor the Dead by Serving the Living,' we should do the same."
Doug Coffey

Dear Sherod (in transit),
     You might wonder when you note the above return address (from which I'm writing) in comparison to the official records-- listing me at Birmingham, Mich. Well, I found myself in General and Mrs. McMahon's area this past week, thus having the opportunity to initiate a visit. These good hospitable folks, Wilda and Leo, invited yours truly to relax at their home before enplaning back home tomorrow (Nov. 20).
     In the course of our wide and varied area of old times and what of these late past year-- the subject of dues-- oh well -- what more subtle reminder does one need-- but from the General, himself, to come up with Shirley's and my dues for '65-'66.
     Anyway, enclosed is our check. You can pass on to the Cub reporters that all three of us have enjoyed the opportunity today to recall the times past.
Jack Gillespie, C-422

His team did very well last year, winning the city of Detroit Championship and the Michigan Lower Peninsula Championship before losing in the State Final to St. Ste. Marie. We spend a great deal of our time hanging around ice rinks watching him play, and traveling around the state of Michigan and into Canada with him. It won't be long before the new season starts and we'll be doing it all over again. He is also out for high school football team-- all 128 lbs. of him -- the lightest player in the city of Detroit. Time sure flies-- it isn't too long ago we brought him to 106th Reunions as a baby and I am sure most of the regulars remember him as such."

     Ed. Notes-- We hear a lot from the 411 boys in Ohio. Isn't there some place you could get together for a dinner in December ?
