SIXTY YEARS AGO. Sgt. Karlson moved from Freux to Jenneville, Belgium. But that proved not to be his unit's direction of advance.

Then turned around and headed through Luxembourg, Luxembourg City and arrived in the town of Berborg, Lux., just south of the City. Had a nice room here and six hour radio shifts. Snowy and cold. Stayed in the former home for the blind so there was plenty of room. Stayed 10 days here and fought the Nazis all the time. Shortly before the end of January, headed back to Belgium, spending one-night stops in uncomfortable spots chasing the Wehrmacht which was retreating rapidly. Heavy fighting through January, and returning to Belgium, following the Germans.

A different letter notes that the Wehrmacht was "rolling pretty fast just then -- in reverse!"
