Other 466th BG Tour in ETO |
Attlebridge, Norwich NR9, UK | "My classification was Lineman, Telephone & Teletype (238). I went to Kearns, UT for two weeks where I was processed and joined the 466th BG. We went to Dalhart AAF, Texas. From there we went to Clovis, NM and then to Alamagordo, NM and then on to Camp Shanks, NY to travel overseas. When I arrived at Attlebridge we installed switchboards, ran new telephone line, installed telephones and maintained the telephone system. " Bruno Fondriest |
