Apparently the soldier on the right is the one that took the hit. He's the only one without a helmet in his hands, just the liner. However, just conjecture.

The man on the right is Andy Masiero of Newburgh, and by the way he is my Father-In Law.... Still living in the Newburgh NY area. I am pretty sure it was during the Battle of the Bulge.

Welcome to the site, imgrumpy1, thanks for the info. This is what the shoulder patch of this division looks like:

When I checked on this division, I noted that 3 days after landing in France on 13th December 1944, they were rushed into the Battle of the Bulge as reinforcements!

I can't imagine what that must have been like. Please convey our gratitude to your father-in-law for all that he and his comrades did for my country and for Europe.
