No, I'm not sure. I'm guessing you're probably right, he must have said 101st. Like I said, I didn't even have the presence of mind to write down his name. I'll be up there again, next time I'll get all the info and his picture too.
Yeah, I took between 25 and 30 pictures, I'll send them to you tomorrow, it's getting kind of late here in Central Europe now. I'll send them to Wigam too, maybe he can use some of them in the newsletter. I already sent him some pictures of the Ligne Maginot and Verdun.
I took a lot of pictures inside the museum at Diekirch, I didn't see any prohibitions against taking pictures and nobody said anything while I was taking them. The museum at Bastogne doesn't allow that, the signs are clearly posted when you enter.
