Bastogne Historic Walk this weekend.
“…the last major obstacle was an old Belgian concrete pillbox on the east side of the road. 1LT Bogess’s gunner, Corporal Dickerman, took it out with three rounds from the Sherman’s 75mm cannon. Bogess saw American soldiers about 50 yards away take cover when he opened fire.
Standing in his open turret, he yelled. “Come here! This is the 4th Armored!” 2LT Duane Webster, 101st Airborne, came forward and they shook hands at 1650. The siege of Bastogne had been lifted…”
