Where can you find information about the 141st Gun Bn Europe and the Battle of the Bulge in 1944-45?

Need Clarification ===

First I have to assume you refer to an American unit. Then I assume you refer to the 141st Field Artillery Battalion.

The 141st Field Artillery Battalion served in the following campaigns:

Naples-Foggia(ground- Italy)

Anzio (Italy)

Rome-Arno (Italy)

Southern France

Central Europe

Rhineland (Germany)

In my notes, I show that the 141FA Btn was originally part of the 39th Infantry Division. But some of its units were sent into combat as independent units. It was probably assigned to VI Corps, which also fought in Italy and then landed in Southern France in August 1944.

Try a search for 141st Field Artillery Battalion and detailed reference books on the Battle of the Bulge. I will do more searching, also.
