Augusta's War: The Forgotten Angel of Bastogne
During my days in the Army, it was my experience to do about 10 months with the 1st Battalion of the 327th Infantry Regiment, in 1990-1991. It is a unit rich in its history, but no moment shines quite so bright for that storied regiment more than its defense of Bastogne, Belgium, during the winter of 1944. This is the story of one of the unsung heroes of that legendary defense, a heroic nurse named Augusta Chiwy who, along with Renee LaMair, saved so many lives among the wounded of the 101st Airborne.
