I couldn't find specific records for the 733rd Field Artillery Battalion in Denbigh for the months of April through June 1944. However, during that time, the United States Army was heavily involved in World War II, and many units were deployed and stationed in various locations. To obtain more precise information about the battalion's activities during that period, it may be best to consult official military records or archives.

What German divisions fought at the battle of the bulge?
The German attack fell mostly on the US First Army. The US Ninth Army was north of the First, and the British were north of the Ninth Army. Because the German breakthrough appeared as though it were going to reach a small Belgian town through which the landlines strung by Signal Corps troops for telephone communications ran, Eisenhower made the decision to place the troops north of the German breakthrough temporarily under the command of the 21st Army Group, commanded by Montgomery, until the troops north and south could cut through the Bulge and reunite - about eight or nine days. This put Montgomery over US troops, and after the battle was stabilized he made some outlandish claims trying to seize credit for having to "rescue" the incompetent Americans. This was par for the course for Montgomery, yet another of his "what a good boy am I" pronouncements, and came very near to causing his relief by Eisenhower. British newspapers took their cue from Montgomery's overstatements and presently Churchill was obliged to remind the House of Commons that "The Americans have engaged thirty or forty men for every one we have engaged, and have lost sixty to eighty men to every one of ours."The primary role of British troops was in guarding the crossings of the Meuse River, the initial German objective, which freed American troops from that duty to join the battle.The British troops involved were from the XXX Corps, which included the 6th Airborne Division, the 51st (Highland) Division, the 53rd (Welsh) Infantry Division, the 29th Armoured Brigade and the 33rd Armoured Brigade. The Corps reserve was the Guards Armoured Division, the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division, and the 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division !

Where did the 733 Field Artillery Battalion serve?
AnswerAccording to a BBC article I found in Google, the battalion's WW2 service was as follows: It landed in Normandy, on Utah Beach, several days after D-Day and fought across Normandy to St Lo, Chartres, Metz and to the Saar River and finally into Bavaria. I have been unable to trace any subsequent deployment.The US 733 Field Artillery Battalion earned credit for the following WW2 campaigns:Northern FranceRhinelandArdennes-AlsaceCentral EuropeNote: the campaigns do not list Normandy. This indicates that this unit did not serve in combat at Normandy. However, many units entered France through the beaches at Normandy.The 733rd did receive credit for Normandy. It entered France on June 30, 1944 and one of its units was the first American heavy artillery unit to engage the enemy in Normandy.
What is first Battalion 82 Field Artillery?
The 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery was first constituted in the Regular Army as Troop A and B, 24th Cavalry on 3 June 1916. Almost exactly one year later, on 5 June 1917, it was activated as Troop A and B, 24th Cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, WY.On 1 November 1917, Troops A and B, 24th Cavalry were consolidated and redesignated as Battery A, 82nd Field Artillery and assigned to the 15th Cavalry Division. The unit first saw action in operations across the Rio Grande River. On 9 September 1921, the 82nd Field Artillery was assigned to the newly organized 1st Cavalry Division and became its sole artillery regiment. The Dragons became known as the "Flying Horse Artillery" during service with the 1st Cavalry Division in the Southwest along the border with Mexico. Between that date and WWII, the unit accomplished two other reorganizations and redesignations.The unit deployed to the Pacific Theater in WWII with the 1st Cavalry Division and saw action in New Guinea, the Bismark Archipelago, Leyte and Dazon.Following WWII, the battalion performed occupational duty in Japan and was one of the first units to arrive in Korea in 1950. The unit was credited with seven campaign streamers in the Korean War. On 15 October 1950, it was deactivated and relieved from assignment to the 1st Cavalry Division.On 1 June 1958, the unit was reoutfitted as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Missile Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery and was activated on 24 June 1958 in Italy. The battalion was deactivated in Italy on 20 April 1964.On 31 October 1967, the battalion was redesignated as the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery. It was activated on 10 January 1968 at Fort Lewis, WA, and assigned to the 23rd Infantry Division, the American Division. The unit was later assigned to Vietnam in October 1968.The 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery was reorganized at Fort Bragg, NC on 30 November 1971, by Headquarters, Third US Army and was attached to the XVIII Airborne Corps Artillery. The battalion underwent another reorganization during the summer of 1972 when it converted from a self-propelled to a 155mm, M114A1, towed howitzer battalion.Redesignated once again, on 21 June 1975, as the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery, the unit became a self-propelled 155mm, M109A1 Howitzer Battalion and was assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, TX. As of mid-2001, the unit is a M109A6 (Paladin) Howitzer Battalion.The Soldiers from Battery C of the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment are familiar with Paladin Howitzers. Firing them was their main mission, until they arrived at Camp War Eagle in March 2004. Here they found themselves in the midst of a dynamic battlefield. For the 1-82 FA this means less field artillery, and more light infantry. To support the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division in the dangerous Al Thawra District of Baghdad, the 1-82 FA has begun conducting dismounted foot patrols in a area the Soldiers call "Squaretown." From Squaretown, insurgent forces have launched mortar attacks and the Soldiers are concerned about weapons being transported through the area near the outskirts of Camp War Eagle. The patrols and traffic control points Charlie Rock conducts in the area will deter insurgent activity. The infantry tactics used on foot patrols might make some Soldiers recall their days in basic training. But for the Iraqi National Guard (ING) troops who are with them, it's their first exposure to many infantry tactics. The 'Charlie Rock' Soldiers always bring ING Soldiers with them on dismounted patrols and other combat missions.

The Career of a Field Artillery Officer?
The job of field artillery officer is offered by the United States Army. The field artillery branch is the branch that is responsible for using modern weaponry such as rocket, missile fire and cannon to neutralize an enemy. The job of a field artillery officer is to lead these operations. Therefore, they must be well versed in combat tactics, the techniques used by the Army and how to support these systems. They must also be able to coordinate soldiers of all levels, including units that may have 200 soldiers or more. A good field artillery officer should also be able to teach combat training and various field artillery skills. Leadership is one of the most important skills required for this job. Field artillery officers must also be in peak physical condition and able to perform under extreme pressure. In order to become a field artillery officer, an individual must first complete basic training for the Army. Then, they must complete the field artillery officer basic course which provides education in fire support, fire direction and platoon leadership. The next step is to complete twelve months of training in the field. Certifications can be obtained by passing the Artillery Safety Certification Examination. Additional training and educational courses are provided by the Army. Experience and time spent in the field are held in high regard and help with promotion through the ranks. The average salary for a field artillery officer is $60,000. This is, of course, an average. Actual salaries may vary depending on rank and experience as well as where the individual is stationed. The Army also offers perks along with a yearly salary. Benefits and housing are among those perks. There are very few drawbacks to this career. One of the major ones is that the field artillery officer must spend time stationed somewhere that might be far away from home or family. This can place stress on both the solider and the family, although it is not uncommon with military careers. The outlook for the career of field artillery officer is very positive. As technology increases and advances, field artillery will also advance. Therefore, the Army will need qualified field artillery officers to lead soldiers in this area.
