WWII Veteran Doug Harvey
Doug was drafted in 1943 and originally was assigned to the 78th Infantry Division, but was later transferred to fill out the 84th Infantry Division, "the Rail Splitters". Doug was assigned to the Anti-Tank Platoon of the First Battalion of the 334th Infantry Regiment. He was a crew member on a towed 57mm Anti-Tank gun. He was also with the 84th when they shipped overseas and when they landed in France at Omaha Beach in November of 1944. Doug Harvey participated in the Rhineland, Ardennes, and Central Europe Campaigns.
He has a very clear memory of his wartime service with a special emphasis on the details of Army life. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Combat Infantryman's Badge for his service.Photograph Details
