ASF Company C, 3110th Signal Service BattalionASF

Sideville

In August and September, 1944, Company C,  3110th Signal Service Battalion served in Cherbourg, France.

While in the Cherbourg area Felix A. Cizewski, my late father, and unidentified GIs visited Bois du Mont du Roc, Sideville. Sideville is about 5 miles (7.8 kilometers) southwest of Cherbourg.

At Bois du Mont du Roc,
Sideville the Nazis had built a pool and recreation facility. Perhaps after liberation the Americans used it.
Guard box today.

Along with the pool, this is one of the remainders of the Nazi recreation facility.
