Red Bull Battle Service Record; - First Division in European Theatre - Jan. 26, 1942 - Most combat days - 517 - Most hills taken - Most casualties - 21362
Something wrong with date and location. In October 1944 the 34th was stuck in the vicinity of Bologna which is 300kms north of Anzio. In October 1943 the 34th was short of Cassino which is 80kms east of Anzio. The latter was occupied by US/Brit forces from January 1944 till late May 1944.
my father was robert j. durban, a first lieutenant in the 34th infantry division, 175th field artillery division, battery 'b', served from 5 july 1943 till german surrender 2 may 1945. he was awarded the bronze star but we have very few pictures or other history and would welcome any info.
My father was with 168th Infantry (3rd Battallion, K Company, weapons platoon). He was wounded twice but the second Heart at Monte Cassino got him home and he was happy to get there all shot up.
Around the time this was posted i was deployed with the Red Bull in Afghanistan, i wonder if the army has an updated version of this or something similar
My Dad was with the 34th from Ireland......to north africa and then Italy. I'm happy he made it back to Minnesota.

Bombing Monte Cassino was one of the DUMBEST things ever done...
Those German paratroopers were some Bad-asses from what i read on the German airborne forces.
