| The story starts on the bluff at left, where an understrength platoon of forty men manned the quiet front in the fall of 1944. Things were looking up 15 Dec when T/SGT Hebert and a friend met Annie and Sissy at the Cafe Adam, below left, and made plans to meet again. They'd walked to Beaufort from their bivouac in the dark treeline, below right. The next morning at 0500, the men were caught up in the Bulge and moved on without seeing the sisters again. Thirtyone years later, Bob Hebert walked into Cafe Adam and sure enough, the women recognized their old friend immediately! |
