January-February 1944--"Winter Position" in Weiterswiller, France

January 1-12,1945--Moved back to Gum, and then the next day, moved to Muhouse.  Then, moved back to Gum the next day. The next day we moved to Shillendorf.  Stayed there for several weeks, then back tot Weiterswiller.  Stayed there for seven weeks.  Our plane was shot down near Mulhouse.  The Germans had Mulhouse at that time. I drove the Colonel up into the rifle men's area.  We stopped, and went to inspect the plane.  We packed the snow down with our feet, and the plane was able to take off OK.
January 13--I made PFC!  We then moved back to Gum.  Next day moved to Woerth, and then up to Wissemberg.
January 21-31-Settled into our Winter Position in Weiterswiller, France (Alsace).  We're all living in houses.  When we arrived here in the middle of the night, we had to rouse people out of bed to secure our billets.

February 1-28--The people in Alsace treat us pretty well. "Bed Check Charlie" buzzes over every night, annoying our nerves, but he doesn't drop any bombs on us.
