Many coastal artillery battalions existed early in the war to protect against threat of an enemy attack by sea. As the war progressed and this threat diminished, some of these units were coverted to field artillery battalions or anti-aircraft artillery battalions. Some coastal artillery battalions did go overseas to protect US naval bases. The 62nd Coast Artillery Antiaircraft Regiment earned campaign credits for: Algieria-French Morocco Tunisia (Ground) - 1st Bn, HQ & Hq Bty, Co B, & D only Sicily(Ground) - HQ only There was also a 62nd Antiaircraft Artillery Gun Battalion that served in Sicily, Rome-Arno, Southern France, Rhineland, and Ardennes-Alsace. My guess is that the coastal artillery regiment was reduced in size and re-designated as an AA battalion.
Steve Trachsel of the Chicago Cubs was the Pitcher that Mark McGwire went deep on in order to get his 62nd Homerun in the 1998 season.
34, days short of his 35th birthday. McGwire was born October 1, 1963 and hit his 62nd home run of the 1998 season off of Steve Trachsel of the Chicago Cubs on September 8.
Where else but Big Mac's hometurf in Busch Stadium. The historic blast was hit off the slowpaced Cub's righty Steve Trachsel, the ball acted like a line drive as it just cleared the 330 ft leftfield wall.

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 !
