Benjamin LaForest Edmonds
United States Army Coast Artillery Corps
My father, Benjamin LaForest Edmonds, was captured in Italy trying to take Mt.Belvedere. He was taken by boxcar to Stalag 7a. Like many men he did not talk much about his experiences there. He did talk about trading his Red Cross cigarettes for food; and how he was plagued by lice. He was at the camp when it was liberated.
If anyone remembers him I would love to hear from you.
