Hello, I just recently found this site and found that my father (Walter A. Stump) had served in the 811th, Co. A. He was captured as a POW during the Battle of the Bulge. He passed away in 1972 when I was only 13 and I did not have the chance to hear of his experiences. Any info on the POW camp or other info would certainly be appreciated. Reading this website is incredible!

This being Father's Day I think it's appropriate I happened on this site today. My Dad, Raymond Burdge was a member of the 813th Tank Destroyer Battalion and was captured in January, 1945 and held in a German POW camp until liberation. I want to thank you for this site and all the people who contributed. I had seen and have many of the articles but there is also much I had not seen. My Dad died in 1976 and I still miss him every day. Thank you. Linda

Today (Father's Day Eve) finally found my father's unit ID on a unit photo:
Company A 648th TD Battalion.
He, Howard Preston, would have been a thin, blond kid from California just out of high school. I could coax details of his experience out of him but it was clarly profoundly important. The newly found box of photos may include others of the unit's experience. Gland to scan and send if of interest.

It is very interesting to learn of the events and actions of those making up the TD Battalions. I commend them and thank them.

Hello. My name is Lieutenant Han and I'm the Personnel Officer for 1-75 Cavalry Regiment. We trace our lineage to the 705th TD BN. We are trying to build alittle history at our headquarters and would love pictures of the commanders and CSMs, and any other memorabilia/pictures of the 705th. If you could please contact me and point me to the right direction on where to find these things, we'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

What this website is lacking is a memorial for all those that died in the 773rd that has never made it back home. One such soldier was James Richard Whitehead. I wrote this for the Memorial day: http://www.kens5.com/younews/122576179.html . He was killed in France 17, August 1944 and is still buried in France.
