On 17 December 1944, the Artillery Battalions of the 101st
Airborne Division were alerted and given 24 hours notice to move
to positions in Belguim to assist in halting a massive German
offensive through the rugged terrain of the Ardennes region.
Hitler’s last western Offensive, with the final objective
being to seize the port facilities at Antwerpt, this action would
become known as the Battle of the Bulge. This print commemorates
the valiant actions of all the artillerymen of the 101st
Airborne Division Artillery during the Battle of the Bulge. Signed
