PFC. Claude Leland Edwards
United States Army 82nd Airborne
from:West Springfield, MA
I'm not sure the times and dates of my dad's capture or escape. Claude Edwards was one of the men whom formed the "pow" with their shirts off after they were let off the strafed boxcars. He was a small man at 5ft 7in, but he escaped along with three other men. I know he was exceptionally rugged but had to spend time in hospital after the war was over recovering from starvation. He was at the Bulge, part of the 17th division of the 82nd Airborne and was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze star
