Book 'Ragtag Circus'

Copyright Edition 1992 hardcover "Rag Tag Circus" by Louis R. Sandini. This is a great book in excellent new condition. It covers the history of a young man and his adventures in World War II with the 83rd Infantry Division from Camp Atterbury to the end of the war.

I got this book from Paul DiGiammerino, son of Pat DiGiammerino, 323rd Field Artillery Battalion. I met Paul at the 83rd Reunion of 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee.
