Andrew J. Scalf

Andrew Scalf was the truest of volunteers because he volunteered twice for the military.

 

First he volunteered for the army in October of 1942. His training was done in Ft. Stewart, GA.

 

Soon he and the 455th AAA were on THE QUEEN ELIZABETH heading for England by way of Scotland.

 

When General Patton asked for more volunteers to go to the front lines... Andrew Scalf left the 455th AAA and went with the 137th Infantry, 35th Division.

 

He wrote in a letter that something had to be done to stop the madness of Hitler and he was going to try to do all in his power to stop him.
