Mr. Helmer
You are causing me to do waaaay too much reasearch. I remembered the Battle part of the question, it was the battle of Sa. I won't give it away.
I'm still looking for the second part. Thanks for these kinds of questions. I love historical questions. I guess being the first in my family to be born in the States was a big influence on my wanting to learn everything I could about America. I sopped up everything I could find to read about it.
My Grandfathers were both heavy readers. At the end of the day they were reading and had a stein of beer and the radio turned low, cigar or a pipe going. Ah yes, the smell of kraut, boiled cabbage, beer, cigar and pipe smoke and boiled or fried sausage wafting through the house. If this generation of candy a$$es had to smell that stuff the local child protection unit would be impounding the kids.
Thanks again. Bill
