Hi, my name is Geoffrey and I am the grandson of Cpl. Adolph H. Dege, 35th Division, 139th Infantry, Co. L. He was my mother's father and was very proud of his service in France in the Wesserling Sector and in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. I never met him as he died a few years before my birth but I own his honorable discharge papers, a reprinted book about the 139th Infantry, and a braided leather German belt with a Gott mit uns buckle that he brought back from the battlefield. My mother always said he had a lot of other German stuff brought back but it has all disappeared and the belt is all that is left.
