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.

My grandfather, Daniel H. Wilshire, served in the 691st. He passed away almost 20 years ago, and never spoke much to anyone in the family about his experiences. Thanks so much for creating this website so that we have a chance to learn at least a little about his experiences in the war.
If by some miraculous stroke of luck anyone knew him or any details about him, please drop me an email - my father and I would love to know.

Hello, Just wondering if anyone knew my grandfather, Johnnie D. Mundy. He was in the 811th Tank Destroyers and was in Battle of the Bulge. He passed when I was in the 6th grade, in 2000. Would like to hear stories and share some of the ones I know. Feel free to email. Kmundy1@me.com
