Thank you for this site! I am currently living in Germany and while I am here I'm taking the opportunity to visit the places my Grandfather fought in WWII. He was in the 773rd Tank Destroyer Battalion.

David M. Leibli
My dads name was Lelborn Lee Leibli. He was a staff sgt with the 1st Platoon, Recon Co.,
603rd Tank Destroyer Battalion. He had his rifle shot out of his hands by a German soldier. He fell off the armored car and broke his hand. I would say he was lucky. I write this in honor of him.
He passed away December 4 2003.

I found your site while doing research on my uncle's WW 2 uniform. It has the same patch displayed on your web site. I was wondering if I could find out what the bars on the jacket signify. There is a 5th Army patch on the left sleeve. The bar on the right front of the jacket is yellow/gold with very thin red, white and blue stripes. The bar on the left front has bars of (from left to right) brown, thin green, white , red, wide green, thin blue, white, red, wide green , thin white, thin black, thin white then finishes with brown. Thanks
