Information. The 119th Infantry Regiment were part of the 30th Infantry Division they sailed on the 12th of February 1944, from Boston, Mass. and arrived in Scotland on the 22nd of February 1944. They began training for amphibious operations in preparation of the D-Day Landings. The Divison landed on the Normandy beaches a few days after D-Day, spearheaded the St Lo breakthrough and were in the forefront of the advance across Western Europe. The troops returned to the US in August 1945. My Dad, Sam Park Lacy, was Sergent in Company M, 119th Infantry, 30th Division. He has since passed away, but I have been trying to find out about his injuries. He was in St. Loe, but he was injured around Mortan. He has a Purple Heart & Bronze Star. Thank you.
