Bob Hilleque was the only one of the A-company, 1st battalion, 119th regiment, 30th US Infantry Division Old Hickory [1] who survived the war.
On September 14, 1944, Pierre Schunck led an Old Hickory punch (in some open jeeps with machine guns) along the Daelhemmerweg street from Sibbe to the Grendelplein square, through the Grendelpoort gate, into the Muntstraat and deeper into Valkenburg. Guide Schunck was on the hood of the first jeep. Robert Hilleque was one of the soldiers behind him. Pierre and Bob stayed friends for life. [2]
