My father, Kirby Crawford, was a member of the 807th. He passed away on March 17, 2017, at the age of 92. My mother, Jean Crawford, died 9 days before him on March 8, 2017. I have my father's amazing scrap book from his days in Europe as a part of the 807th. If anyone would like me to send images, I'll be happy to do so. He documented his tour very well. Scottye Crawford Lee, his daughter.

My grandfather is in the picture of the men all sitting together. They misspelled it, Bailey. he is also on the cover of the book men of the 704th. are there any survivors left? I would like to talk

This is a terrific website - as the historian for the Camp Blanding Museum, I'm really pleased to find so much archival material available. Thanks so much!

my father Raymond Turner and uncle Corbie Stewart were in the war together. In "A" company. One day as my father was driving some high brass guy the Germans over ran the place that they were in. My uncle Corie was captured and stayed that way until the war was over. 2 heros among 1,000,000 's of heros they got the job done.

Note, Marvin C Ellis was in the 774th TAnk Destroyer, Company B, Platoon A, 1st Lt I believe in charge of Platoon.

Hello: Awesome website. GREAT JOB! My grandfather, Frank Ondick, was in the tank destroyers. 774/Company B HQ. So awesome to see a picture of him and all the other members that served. If anyone out there remembers him/served with him, please contact me. He died when I was around six or seven and I did not hear much about his service. He left behind his TD patch, and my family still has his bronze star and some other decorations. I would really like to hear about him some more. God bless, Lane

My father Maj. C.Ashley Wright, served in the 635th FA Battalion as Executive Officer and for most of its WWII tour in France and Germany, as acting commander. My first letter from my father was posted from France when I was four months old. I have all his letters home from his combat tour. I was conceived in Killeen. TX, outside of Fort Hood when my father was training for deployment but born in NYCity. My NYCity mother wouldn't have me born in Killeen. I followed in my Dad's footsteps, serving as XO of an Army 175mm gun battery in Vietnam, up on the DMZ, OpCon US 3rd Marines. As I told my Dad before he passed, he may have had more guns and men under his command but my guns were bigger than his 155mm guns. My best to all of you fellow artillerymen out there and to your families too. Ashley W. Wright Princton, NJ

I am the Historian for the 628th/1-103dArmor Reunion Association in Johnstown, PA. I have been looking for the WD GO 31-47 for the 628th TDB. The unit was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation for action from 29Nov-8Dec44. Can you help me find this order? Thank You.

My Dad is Tom Hinton. I found a picture of him in his uniform with the "cat" insignia on his left shoulder. I couldn't find out anything about it. He is 94, still alive and of sound mind. So I asked him and he said he was in the 670th tank destroyer batallion. I googled it and this is what I came up with. I would like to know more. He was drafted right after Pearl Harbor at 19 years old. He came home 6 months after the war ended. What a great generation!
