For Currahee's! Part of the Regiments proud history....

[A.B]

Currahee's, Sir's!

I would be very happy, if anyone of you would also help me to send the below to the Regimental assn, so that if the assn-board feels it is good enough as historical source, the assn can perhaps add the below in its assn-websites "linkssection". What I wish to share, is at bottom of this post. T G C!

Sincerely
A.B
