Mac Day was my great grandfather. His son Alexander D. Day( my grandfather) also killed in line of duty in West Virginia. I am 73 now . Born and raised in Wyoming County(Pineville) Wv. I have the book “The Crusader”. They are buried on Belcher Mountain(McDowell County) Wv. I’ve been there many times. My Dad , Robert A. Day is 96 and still living in Wv and doing well. Dad was a paratrooper in WW ll. He I’m sure could answer so many of your questions about these two heroes.
