The map shows the bivouac (camp) locations of the 145th’s Headquarters and Service Company from June 1944 through May 1945. The map shows the movement of the Battalion from its training area near Liverpool, England across to landing on Utah Beach in July (a month after D-Day), and across France. In December, the Battalion’s route moves back west in response to the German counteroffensive known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Note: “Grid” refers to the map grid location used by the U.S. Army in World War II. The grid used was known as the “Modified British System” and allowed locations to be specified to within 100 meters using a six-digit number, rather than using latitude and longitude. More information on the Modified British System, including a converter from grid numbers to latitude/longitude format, is available here.
