Another Soldier And The Quartermasters

Another Soldier and The Quartermasters begins as a biography detailing the boyhood and young adult life of the author's father. By 1942 the world stage had been set for young men who would either enlist or be drafted (selected) into military service. Art Nichols along with his two older brothers had entered military service. Sgt. Cornelius Arthur Nichols was similar to most soldiers during World War II who had relentless inner strength and dedication. It is important to recognize the support role of the Quartermaster Corps for the quartermasters had a vital role in support of front line troops. These men have been very proud of their years of service. This book follows a Company's mission from its inception, training in Wyoming and Oregon, and on to the Desert Training Center (DTC/CAMA). Their arrival in England on 31 July 1944 precedes their landing on Utah Beach, Normandy. As part of Ninth Army operations in the ETO, the Company pushed from France westward to their destination in Germany.
