War Memorial Spineu

A war memorial has been placed alongside a road with no name at Spineu. The plaque below the monument is hardly readable. On the left of the plaque there is a partly readable text. And it is clear that it concerns the Battle of the Bulge and most probably to honor the 112th Regiment and 424th Regiment Infantry. (112th also might be the 442nd) .
It also is a ‘thank-you’ for the liberation of the Wanne sector.
On the right hand side of the plaque a map has been drawn of the places where those regiments have been and on which dates. For example 14-1-’45 and 15-1-’45.
