Remagen Bridgehead Hero Sees Battalions March East
Maj Ralph Johnson Chappell led a battalion of the 60th Infantry to high ground east of the Wied river and occupied Rahms during fast breaking operations near the Cologne Frankfurt corridor. Quoting his former commander Quentin R Hardage, the piece highlights Hardage’s combat record including European-African Campaign Ribbon with battle stars, Silver Star with oak leaf clusters, Bronze Star, Purple Heart with eleven clusters, and multiple wounds. The article notes Hardage’s rise from platoon leader to battalion commander and hints at unseen loneliness he felt with most of his regiment at home during 30 day leaves.
