@kershaw_alex While crossing Belgium in September 1944, the Big Red One helped trap and capture 25,000 Axis troops in the Battle of the Mons Pocket. It proved to be one of the most decisive, asymmetric victories of their 443 days in combat. 1.1K views · 17 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

I usually only visit WW2 sites where Americans fought in Europe. Next week I'll be at Arnhem for a full day of the British. Can't wait. A very moving place. Guess when and where this amazing image was taken? https://t.co/Yrj4Fjv7RN
