Col Lyle Bernard was my dad's bn cmdr from Fedala up through Anzio. Absolutely wonderful man and outstanding field officer. He was a wonderful friend and genuine leader. How I miss him today. Alexander Nalle - son of Charles C.Nalle, 2nd Bn, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division.

He is my grand father.

Sadly, in the recently released book, Killing Patton, the above photo is incorrectly identified. it is entitle someing like, "General Patton talking to some Lt.Col. on the way to Sicily". Yikes, what nonsense. The "Messina" sign on the wall behind Patton clearly points to Messina. They are ON Sicily. Lt. Col Lyle Bernard is the officer talking to Patton. Bernard had earlier lead the Brolo end run around the German north/right flank. Get it togather, editors. A.Nalle

I just read the comment by Lisakay German. He grandmother's name was Kay. We knew the Bernards during and after the war. As noted above, Lyle Bernard was my father's commanding officer in the 2nd Bn, 30th Infantry Regiment. Later, during the last year of the war, both Col. Bernard and my father were at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, GA. It was Col. Bernard who arranged for us to have a neat old Army house on Austin Loop. Now, Lisakay, who is your mother?? Alexander "Sandy" Nalle

lisakaygerman Lisakay German I'm hoping that this reaches you. My father seved under your grandfather during much of the war. Lt. Col Lyle W Bernard was the Battalion commander of the Second Bn.of the 30th Infantry Regiment, Third Division. Captain Charles Crawford Nalle was a company commander. Lyle Bernard was an outstanding field officer. Please let me know who your mother is. We knew the Bernards at Fort Benning and afterwards. Lyle came to see us in California not too long before his final departure. I'm trying to remember. There was Bitsy and, I think, Sidney. How am I doing?? Sandy Nalle

Alfred A. "Al" Bernard (1888-1949) was an American vaudeville singer, known as "The Boy From Dixie", who was most popular during the 1910s through early 1930s. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Bernard became a blackface singer in minstrel shows before starting his recording career around 1916.   Bernard composed and recorded more than 100 songs in the first three decades of the 20th century.   He was one of the first white singers to record blues songs.   W. C. Handy credited Bernard with helping his own career by recording a number of his songs, notably "St. Louis Blues".  Bernard recorded the song for nine different record labels, the most successful being what Handy called "the sensational Victor recording in which he sang with the Dixieland Jazz Band". For a brief period in the early 20's Bernard was teamed with Jimmy Durante and wrote the lyrics for "Papa String Bean" for Durante.  He teamed up with the ragtime composer J. Russell Robinson in a vaudeville team called the Dixie Stars and they recorded songs together for a number of famous labels.  Bernard usually sang while Robinson played the piano and added some vocals. Together they composed a number of hit songs including "Blue Eyed Sally" and "Let Me Be The First To Kiss You Good Morning".   Excerpted – [1] [2]
