More information
Pvt Stanley Broniszewski graduated from Wells High School in 1942. He was employed at the Knickerbocker Hotel.During this period, all duffle bags were turned in, so that the units could travel fast and light. Condition of roads in the area was wretched, which seriously accentuated the supply problem. In the 17 days before our first attack, 30 prisoners were taken, of whom 10 were captured by our patrols. In this area too, great emphasis was put on maintaining weapons and equipment as well as much attention to proper sanitation.
Pvt Broniszewski was killed by a regal mine.
