PFC Harvey Leo La Doucer BSM

United States Army 36th ID 141st

from:St. Paul, MN, USA

My Grandfather was in Company B, 1st Bn, 141st IR, 36th ID. He was taken prisoner on the 26th of October 1944 and was part of the lost battalion in the Vosges Mountains of France.

He was taken POW as part of a patrol that was trying to find a way to attack a big German road block by the rear in an attempt to try to liberate the remainder of the trapped men that he was with. This patrol was composed of about 50-55 men, only 5 returned to the lost bn perimeter. He spent the remainder of the war as a POW in Stalag VIIA.
