The person between Frank DeAngelo & Carl Topie is me... Ronald Page, the
other person at end of the picture beside Matt Reister is my father,
Henry C. Page, Jr. I am the nephew, and Dad is the brother of 2nd Lt.
Dalton D. Page, C company, 1st platoon, KIA Nov 24, 1943 at Colroy,
France.
In my research, I contacted Col. Murray (Col Murray was 1st Lt of C
company at the time of Dalton's death) and he provided me with detail
information about Dalton's death and pictures of the town of Colroy
where Dalton was killed. What I haven't found out are the events from
the time Dalton left the States until the time he hooked up with company
C. I guess that will come in time.
Col Murray also invited us to attend the reunion. It was a very
emotional and rewarding experience. It helped Dad to finally put closure
to Dalton's death. All he ever knew was that Dalton was killed in France
during the "Big Push" toward the Rhine river and is buried somewhere in
France. On behalf of Dad and myself... thanks to all for such a warm
welcome and to all the veterans and their families for the sacrifices
and contributions made for all of US.
