Albert
Weisberger, Al as he was known by his buddies in C Battery of the 275th
AFA Bn, a Volunteer for the U.S. Army, left his insurance job and his wife
back home in Philadelphia, PA to serve his country on May 18, 1943.
He made friends readily
with his warm smile. His knack for figures quickly landed him in the Fire
Direction Control section of C Battery earning him the rank of Tech 5 or T/5, which is the pay grade equivalent to corporal.
