My father was 1st Sgt George (Beaver) Wood, Hdqtr Co, 802 nd TD Battalion. I grew up seeing my father and all his buddies at the picnics in Oyster Bay, Christmas parties at Hempstead armory and meetings at my house listening to all the stories and witnessing the camaraderie of these "Band of Brothers." Very proud of my Dad and all those that served in the "802"

I found a Unit Photo of HHC 661st TD among my fathers things after he passed. Lester Marvin Ross was one of the soldiers in the photo. He was born in 1911 so was one of the older soldiers in the unit, I have posted it on My Facebook web site. Under Lester L Ross from Iowa. My Dads Rank my guess was PFC from his discharge papers. He talked very little about his war experiences but I am researching what I can find about him or his in it.

My father Ferd E White Sr was a member of the 643 Tank Destroyer Bn. during World War II, He was very proud to be a member of that group. He had just passed away this June 27 2017 @ age 93, I have been sending some pictures and other correspondence to different groups involved with the 643rd Tank Destroyers. They have been very helpful in identifying some of the people in the pictures. I also notice there was a great grand daughter looking for information on her great grandfather who also belonged to the 643rd Tank Destroyer BN. I did find out he was buried in Wallingford Ct. 06492 back in 1958, He was a Maine native like my dad. My dad resided in Wallingford Ct since the early 50's.

I am investigating my uncle, Joseph Manz from Pittsburgh PA. I have a picture of him with the tank destroyer patch on his left arm. That is all I have. I would love to know what company/ battalion he served with and what operations he participated. He died in 1967 and I never got to talk to him about his service. Thanks.

Hi. My Dad is T-Sgt Everard A Taylor, 654th Tank Destroyer Btn. England, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany. Wounded in Normandy December 1944. My grandfather saved the letters that my Dad sent home. They are treasures! He once said that they were in Africa, in and out! My mom says he was not remembering right. He was 90 at the time. Does anyway know anything about the 654th?

Looking for the long lost "Oklahoma Wildcat" (formerly known as the Jinx)... an M10 Tank Destroyer fearlessly piloted and manned for 20 months by the Stokes twins, Claude and Clyde from McAlester, Oklahoma. There were reports of it possibly being seen in the late 1990's at the Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas. IF ANYONE HAS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TANK AND WHAT HAPPENED TO IT PLEASE RESPOND. The 93 year old Stokes twins are friends and members of my church here in McAlester, Oklahoma. There is a great book (can be found on Amazon.com) written about there amazing heroics and contributions to liberating France. The book is titled "The Stokes Twins Ride The Oklahoma Wildcat". They were in the 636th Tank Destroyer Battalion supporting the 36th Division from June 1943 to March 1945. Anyone out there who fought along side these wonderful men please contact me. Thank you.

Granddaughter of Cpl Charles W Huckleberry (Bud) 811th TD. Purple Heart & Bronze Star recipient. My Pa pa is my hero, I wish he was still here to hear me say that and see the reenactments we do to honor him and all other WWII veterans. And to teach younger generations the sacrifices he and so many others made so that we may live the way we do today.

My Dad's sister's oldest son served with the 811 from Jan 43 to Dec 45. I'm a lot younger and should have asked more questions when he was still around. Looks like they did a Hell of a job. Would have like to have learned more.

My uncle, George P. Garrett served in the 6th Tank Destroyer Group from its inception in Texas to the end of the war until he was returned home. He was my hero and helped me adjust to civilian life, when I returned from Vietnam in the late 60s. God rest his soul. I would love to hear from anyone who knew him.

Sgt Paul Weaver was a gun commander. Took a panzerfaust at Hilden on 16 April 1945, (fired by a civilian). Life-threatening wounds on the neck - survived.
He later did 2 years of burial detail as an Honor Guard Commander. I (son - Raymond), have several really nice photos of him with his half-track - much detail.
