Wonderful to see pictures of my dad and "Uncle Jerry" Cohen. They were best friends from high school into Cal and then through Europe with the 807th and long after that.

My Uncle served in the 776 TD or TO BN all through Africa, Italy S. France and Austria. His name was Sgt. James Best. He never spoke of the war so we don't really know much about what he did-I doubt there's anyone left from that unit to fill in the blanks- But I thank all that served and fought

I am in the editing stage of a family memoir that began with letters from my uncle, Tech 5 Frank S. Wilson, who was in the 691st TD battalion. He was killed on December 13, 1944, just miles from the German border. The History of his battalion, as well as Frank's letters, form the core of the book, and I am so very thankful for this site, which has made that history available. My editor--the second to work on the book--following a lead from her predecessor, has just reminded me that they think the site is no longer active. My reply: "It pops up for me all the time. Maybe that's just because I go there such a lot. However, I think not. I think people are adding content all the time." THANK YOU--all of you--for this remarkable resource.

I was a good friend of Myron Brothers and worked with him hauling gasoline for the Lyden Oil Co. Myron was one hell of a man and I’m proud to have known him. He feared nothing and was a mentor to all that knew him. He was also a kind and caring person who would do anything for someone in need. I’m a better person for having known him and blessed to have called him a true friend.

My father Schuyler Coral Bristow served in the 634th TDB. He was a mechanic and a wrecker driver. He had to recover tanks that were disabled or destroyed in battle. The job was gruesome with bodies in the tanks. He hardly ever spoke of it. My brother and I discovered much after in death in 2003. I have a min museum in his honor that includes a model of his recovery vehicle and M-10 tank. Dad was only 5'-3" but stood tall with his mechanical abilities. He didn't have to duck far to get under enemy fire!

Hi, this is in regards to a post from 2017 from Donna Ray., concerning the 654th tank destroyer battalion form WWII. My Uncle Albert "Red"Wright was a Sergeant in that battalion. From what I was told from my grandfather and dad the tank went to rescue some fellow soldiers and it ran over a land mine. All were killed except the soldier they rescued. I hope this helps.
