My Dad Private First Class Paul Baneky was a Gunner on a M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer in the 704 Tank Destroyer Battalion 4th Armored Division
He was shot 3 times in head and survived and patched up and was sent back to fight in the battle of the bulge
in the Ardennes. . .
He was awarded 2 olive leaf clusters a purple heart and a bronze star.
He still had shrapnel imbedded behind his ear until the day that he died .he lived to be 79 years old
He used to take me to all of the $th Armored Division Conventions every year from the time I was 5 years old to 1974.
He was mentioned in the stars and stripes newspaper for his heroic actions in france
He is now buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington Virginia .

It's been a while since I last visited this website. But on occasion I'm reminded of the uncle I never met, Hugh G. Harstin, and so I take a look at your tribute to him. Hugh was my late father's oldest brother. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on 10 February 1944 while in the Fiji Islands.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Looking for information on my Papaw. He was in the 823rd tank destroyer battalion, A company, 3rd platoon alongside Clinton Snyder. He was an ***stant driver of the platoon. Some say he didn't arrive on the beach until after the 18th of June but research has shown He arrived in second wave on D-Day attached to the 29th.

Hi, this site is fascinating! My grandfather, William M. Galvin, was in a tank destroyer unit in WWII. I believe that it was the 814th. He died several years ago, unfortunately. I still have his Ike jacket. It has the TD patch on one sleeve and the 7th Armored Division patch on the other. Unfortunately I can’t find his service record because of a fire at the record facility.
