Pfc Henke Milburn January 26 1942, of  B Company, 135th Infantry Regiment 34th Division, Milburn is credited as the first American Soldier to set foot in  Great Britain, well actually Northern Ireland, which of course is in Great Britain. Naturally he wasn't the first, there were a lot of American Soldiers in Britain by then, individuals right, the 34th Div commander in example, Russell P. Hartle, had been ashore awhile, probably a bunch of division staff officers too.
