Books photos about executed POWS June 1944

[Mark W. Tonner]

Hi Carman;

The attached image is a basic 'line diagram' of an Infantry Battalion in 1944, thought this would make it easier for you to understand what Companies are. Basic breakdown is a:

Battalion Headquarters (BHQ)

and six Companies:

Headquarters Company ("HQ" Company)
Support Company ("SP" Company)
Rifle Company ("A" Company)
Rifle Company ("B" Company)
Rifle Company ("C" Company)
Rifle Company ("D" Company)

Hope this helps.

Cheers
