In Honor of WWII Veteran John C. Daniels First Armored Division

I realize that some locations are not practical to visit so I would be satisfied just getting close (i.e. visit North Africa in lieu of a specific place like Sened Station in Tunisia).  They can travel to any location in any order:

El Dorado, Arkansas
Fort Knox, Kentucky
Brooklyn, New York
Long Beach, California (Queen Mary)
Northern Ireland
England
North Africa
Oran
Tunisia
Sened Station, Tunisia
Naples, Italy
Cassino, Italy
Anzio, Italy
Nettuno, Italy
Rome, Italy
Hot Springs, Arkansas
Sam Houston, Texas

My grandfather, John C. Daniels, served in World War II in the First Armored Division as a Technical Corporal.  He was a member of a squad that manned a half-track.  He received the Silver Star and Purple Heart for actions during the war as well as two combat campaign ribbons.  Here is a summary of his experience:

He was drafted into military service in 1941.  He left home near El Dorado, Arkansas and was inducted on December 2, 1941 into the Army (5 days before Pearl Harbor was attacked).  Trained at Fort Knox, Kentucky.  He left the US from Brooklyn, New York in early May 1942 and crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the RMS Queen Mary ocean liner.  The Queen Mary is now decommissioned and is a hotel/museum in Long Beach, California.  He arrived in Northern Ireland in May 1942 where they began training to be the first of the armored divisions to fight.  He later trained in England and departed in December 1942 to destimation unknown.  Arriving in North Africa (Oran, Algeria) in December 1942.  The LST he was on was torpedoed off the coast of Oran.  The division was part of several large offensives that placed him in Tunisia.  He was wounded on February 2, 1943 near the town of Sened Station, Tunisia by a German Stuka dive bomber.  He received a Silver Star and Purple Heart for his actions that day   He was evaculated to a hospital in Oran, Algeria on an airplane (his first and only time to fly) during the German offensives at Kasserine Pass.  After several months in the hospital recovering, he left a replacement depot for Naples, Italy in October 1943.  He was an eyewitness to the bombing of the Abbey of Monte Cassino.  He later participated in the Allied offensive at Anzio, Italy and ultimately the liberation of Rome.  Once Rome was liberated, the division was reorganized, the soldiers who had been been in service for a long period of time and were previously wounded were sent back to the US.  Having his 29th birthday while crossing the Atlantic, he arrived back in the United States in September 1944.  He was discharged shortly thereafter on October 22, 1944.

In honor of his service, my mission is to duplicate his travels with the First Armored Division during the war.
