He was assigned to the 75th Infantry Division and became known as the “guy that carried the radio,” accompanying the company’s lieutenant as he coordinated information within the division. Westcott took part in the Battle of the Bulge, and other campaigns to drive the Germans out of France and Belgium. He earned a Bronze Star and the French Legion of Honor.
