In June 1943, Ben Berry had just completed high school when he was drafted into the US Army. He travelled to Europe to join the 863rd Quartermaster Fumigation & Bath Company, providing the important support services the Army needed. That all changed quickly during the Battle of the Bulge. “We had rifles, we had to keep them clean the whole time we were across Europe, but we never had the ammunition. At the Battle of the Bulge they gave us the ammunition to go out there,” Ben said.
