Jacquis Bois and Easy Company

One of the foxholes in Bois Jacques(translation: Jack’s Woods), Foy(near Bastogne), Belgium.

101st Airborne was spread in this woods, and the village of Foy can be seen at distance in the photo. Foy was occupied by the Germans while Americans held out in the woods. I believe sometime in January 1945, 101st liberated Foy.

While this site has nothing much to offer except the foxholes dug in 1944, with a bit of background, and a commendable app developed by a French YouTuber, it becomes a memorable experience. The Easy Company depicted in ‘Band of Brothers‘ fought here.
