It is a scramble to get together another edition of The SPUR, just two months after the last one. After this Winter issue, it is a long haul 'til the Spring 2010 issue. Following up on Fall 2009 and Montrevel, I called all of the men who might have some Montrevel or related tales to tell. ALSO IN THIS ISSUE WE CONTINUE: The WWII History of the 38th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mecz) of the 102nd Cavalry Group; from "A Short History of the 38th…..written by Major Charles Rousek, XO of the 38th eff. 8 August 1944"
In this issue, we remember that 65 years ago, on 3 September 1944, elements of the 117th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mecz) fought a valiant battle against vastly superior German Wehrmacht armored forces, at Montrevel, France.
