SGT James C "JC" Ricks

US Army 106th Infantry Division

from:Lake Park, Ga

My Grandfather James Ricks did not talk of the war much. While a prisoner in Germany from 12/16/1944 to 04/29/1945 he had to march many miles in the snow. he had traded his boots for some eggs so his feet became frost bitten and would have been removed had they had the right tools to do it with. When he returned home to Georgia he became a United States Postal carrier.His feet gave him terrible problems for years. he built my Great Grandmothers house by himself, and sitting as much as possible. He was in Stalag 13C Hammelburg Om Main Bavaria 50-10.
