SUBJECT: Commendation

TO: Commanding Officer, 467th AAA (AW) Bn USA (Thru: Commanding General, XIX Corps, APO 270, USA).

1. During the period 11 October 1944 to 22 October 1944, this group was committed as Infantry on the right flank of the XIX Corps in the attack and seizure of Aachen, Germany. During this period Batteries "A" and "C" of your battalion, commanded by 1ST LT CHARLES H. KELLER, and CAPTAIN EDWARD F. GRZYBEK, respectively, were attached to this group.

I desire to commend the officers and men of those batteries for the superior manner in which they performed their duties during the said period. The spirit of cooperation and helpfulness exhibited by them was outstanding and they materially aided in the successful completion of the mission of this group which ended with the fall of Aachen.
