    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.

    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
