"Welcome to Bastogne", 101st Airborne 327th Glider Infantry
There are several well known photographs of soldiers of the 101st Airborne posing with the signs placed at any of the seven roads that converged in Bastogne Belgium during the winter of 1944-45. Many of these men were rushed to this area of Luxembourg in the wooded area of the Ardennes lacking proper winter clothing and equipment. They grabbed what was available and as a result many different combinations of U.S. Army clothing is evident in period photographs ranging from specialized rigger-modified airborne clothing supplemented by every description of G.I. winter clothing available. These three troopers of the 327th Glider Infantry are pretty typical in the dress of the men that became known as the “Battered Bastards of Bastogne”.
