history06 > Wasserbullig, Luxembourg

The issue of the Bulge Bugle (VBOB)
May 2004, omitted the event of the Liberation of Wasserbullig, Luxembourg by the 87th Infantry Division. 

A listing of the towns liberated, and the units which liberated them, was published by Jean Milmeister of CEBA. who edited the book, 
“The Liberty Road in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg 1944-1994.” 

Also the plaque to the liberation of Wasserbillig in that town was also omitted in his listings. 

This ommission was called to the attention of the BUGLE Editor.
