Handsel Monday—the Monday aft-
er New Year’s, is traditionally the
"big Day" for Scotch boys and girls:
and, in addition to being the Scotch
day of gift-giving, it is a day of
feasting and gaiety.
Small wonder, that families and
friends gather on New Year’s eve to
"Drink a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne."

Italy last July 4 north of the
Cteina River on the right flank
ol the 34th "Red Bull" Divi-
sion, to which it was then at-
tui lied.
The regiment rejoined the 91st
Infantry Divi ion south of Chi-
anti). where it experienced one
of its roughest battles. A bat-
talion of the 363rd captured Hill
634, four miles southwest of j
Chtanni, and repelled a number !
ol savage enemy counterattacks
in hand-to-hand fighting. Tin-.
rockiness of the hill made it
impossible for the doughboys to
dig in sufficiently to withstand
a highly concentrated artillery
nd mortar assault that followed, i
but, after withdrawing slightly,
the outfit returned and retook \
the hill.
During the night of July 17 1
the 363rd, as the infantry ele-
ment of a task force attached |
to the 34th Division, moved in- j
to position southeast of Leghorn j
The next morning the 363rd i
shifted its strength to the north- '
east corner of the seaport, man- |
euvering with support of tanks
anti tank destroyers. That night
one of the infantry regiment's
battalions fought its way through
the northern districts of the city
itself to be the first American
troops to enter the city
The 363rd next broke across j
the canal north of Leghorn and j
occupied the coastal sector from !
the port city to Pisa, one of it.,
battalions entering the city be-
fore dawn July 24 and another i
one reaching the city of the
Leaning Tower that night. The
363rd returned to the control of
the 91st Division after holding
that part of Pisa soutli of the |
Arno for four days The regi-
ment was on Fifth Army's right
flank, fighting a. a unit ol the
91st Division, when it went into
action again.
Colonel W Fulton Magill ,Jr.,
of Portland, Oregon has com-
manded the 363rd since last
February. The Colonel's wife
and two children live in Ojai,
California.
