| Original caption: “American infantrymen of the 290th Regiment fight in fresh snowfall near Amonines, Belgium.” Throughout the day the United States Army’s 290th Infantry Regiment, 75th Infantry Division, temporarily attached to the 84th Infantry Division, continued to support the advance and to patrol the surrounding area with the mission of occupying and securing strong points. The attack jumped off in its sector at 0800 Hours, but progressed slowly because of strong resistance, poor visibility, snow, and extreme cold. At the close of the day, 1st Battalion occupied a position in the vicinity of Magester. The 2nd Battalion continued to occupy the sector west of Amonines. The 3rd Battalion had the assigned mission of patrolling to the front and making contact with 335th Infantry Regiment at Beffe. | |
