Camp Campbell, Ky. 10 November, 1945
WANT TO EXPRESS to each and every one of you who were overseas and fought with the squad ron the sincere appreciation of Lt. Col. Schlanser, ___..___myself and all of your former officers for all that ~ you have accomplished. It is impossible to express personal gratitude to each one of you individually and this type of letter seems rather impersonal. But I hope each of you will look upon it as a personal letter, for that is how it is intended.
The 19th Cav. Ren. Squadron was completely inactivated on the 10th of November, and will be only a name except to those who were in it. However, I am certain that the former mem bers of this command will not forget it. True, we did not see as much combat as many outfits did, but that which we saw proved to me and I think to you, that it was a good squadron.
Again, thank you, each one of you, for your devotion to duty as good soldiers. Sincerely, ROSCOE R. KERR, Major, Cavalry, Commanding. lJn :!lrmnriam
IMPLE WHITE CROSSES standing in rows of white crosses somewhere in Luxembourg mark their resting places. They were good soldiers, good guys. They gave all that they had to give. We cannot forget them. Let us resolve their sacrifice shall not have been in vain. To them, this booklet is dedicated:
