My father, C. C. Putnam, was in the 802. I'd be interested in any reunions of surviving family members from that group.

I have a very rare and original copy of the booklet, "The 893d Tank Destroyer Battalion, Lt. Col. Henry C. Kerlin, Commanding" if anyone has interest in buying. It's in good condition. Thank you - judith

My Grandfather James T Burke, Jr of Brooklyn, NY fought with the 9th Tank Destroyer Group and earned two bronze stars during his 1 year and 5 months over seas. Feel free to contact me if you have any information on his service! Peace and God speed to those that never made it home!

My wife's uncle, Cpl. Andrew Morgan of the 803 TDS, was MIA at Aachen Oct.22, 1944. My basic research on this site helped to lead the family to the true facts of his loss. It also helped me retrieve records and document the places and events he participated in. Thank you for an informative and helpful site. If anyone knew him or can contribute additional information, please feel free to contact me at the above email. Thanks, again- Rolland1

Hi,
My grandfather Cipriano C. Mongaraz was in the 816th and I don't have much about him in the service. I do have his Tank Destroyer patch, but he never talked about his time in the service. I was wondering if there's anything, any information about him.
Thanks,
Lisa

I feel compelled to thank the creators of and researchers for this Website from the bottom of my heart. Like most, my father, Lt. John E. Dooley, said nothing of his WWII experiences as I was growing up. By a quirk of fate, I was able to determine recently that he trained with the 101st Cavalry Regiment (NY), but at some point (probably Feb 1944) deployed to serve in Recon Company for the 701st TD Battalion. In fact, six of the Operations Reports listed on the 701st Web Page were signed by him. I never thought I would find out about his experiences, but thankfully, the information on this Website helps immensely.

Does anyone have a roster for Company B of the 602nd?
Trying to figure out which Co my grandfather served in. I've found rosters for A compay and C company and he's not listed, but I can't find one for B.
Thanks

My father, John N. Rimlinger, was a Sgt. for Battalion 817, Company A, Tank Destroyer. He didn't talk much about the war. Once we did get him to talk about it, he cried. What seemed to upset him most was that it was reported "no shots were fired" in Halle, Germany, but Dad said his tank was disabled. Dad died in 2012. We have pictures of him, tanks, and sadly the concentration camp/burial grounds. If anyone happens to have more history/stories on the 817, Co. A, I would love to hear them. I am so glad I came upon this site. It is great and I learned a lot.
