First Battalion, 24th Marines
in combat.
Harold Rediske (right) of B/1/24 on the beach of Namur, 1 February 1944.
He would earn the Silver Star Medal, and be badly wounded, within the next twenty-four hours.
In thirteen months, 1/24 participated in four major amphibious operations.
Experience a foxhole-eye view of the war with day-to-day narratives drawn from official histories, original documents, and veteran memoirs.
Any forecast on the arrival of “Forager Phase III” section will be out? I look very much forward to that!
