My grandfather, Anthony Ercegovich, fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the 605th Tank Destroyer Battalion. He was a private first class in Company A. If anyone has any further information to share, please do!

My father, Raymond Safreno, was a member of the 826, hosting a reunion first in Pleasanton Ca then in Riverbank Ca for the better part of 30 years . MEmbers of the reunion became as family. Dad became a teacher in Riverbank treble a long time administrator and superintendent. He passed in 87 and laid to rest in Hughson Ca by bids 826 buddy Antone Dana’s.

Rob..................I personally want to thank you from my family, and I'm sure many other families feel the same way. What a wonderful way to preserve the legacy of all of these great veterans. I know that you started out to preserve and pass on some of the info about your own dad, but you have gone above and beyond and I can't help but think that your own dad has to be so proud of your work on this project. steve probst

Great site! Thanks for continuing to honor the greatest generation. My dad's childhood friend was Sgt. Wesley T Carter from Evansville, IN He was in the 811th A company 2nd platoon. He was wounded the 17th December early in the opening of the battle of the bulge, unfortunately he died Christmas day 1944.

In answer to your query... I BELIEVE that the Robert C. Miller you've inquired about is the same as Robert C. Miller, Serial Number O1822037. If we're talking about he same RCM, then your father was a Graduate from OCS at Camp Hood, TX. In addition to his wound, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions from 27 JUL 44 to 15 DEC 44 in France. He is cited in XII Corps General Order #2, 6 JAN 45. I have a copy of the General Order I can send you if you want it. Again, Robert C. Miller is a common name. If you have his serial number and can confirm it against what I've posted, then we have the same person. Contact me at boal.matthew@gmail.com.

My father, Sgt. John J. "Jack" Halloran, served with the 629th Tank Destroyer battalion. I don't know which company. His unit was commanded by one Lt. Horace Lamb, a Texan. I'm always interested in any information I can get about this unit and my father's "adventures" during the war. He passed away in 1981.

Remembering my late dad, T4 Frank Blatterspiel { 610th TD Battalion } and all the vets on this 79th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge . Thank You, and God Bless them all.

My dad, William Woody, was drafted in March 1943 and was sent to Camp Hood for basic training. He was in Co D of the 137th training battalion. He stayed around 4 months at Camp Hood then was selected for the Army Specialized Training Program. I still have a diagram of the infiltration course that dad drew in pencil and sent to his folks as well as a Tank Destroyer patch.

I was very glad to find this site. My grandfather, Lt. Col. Elmer R. Staib, was in the 610th. He was the lieutenant mentioned in the history who was with his men on Mousson Hill during the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Croix de Guerre. I have a roll of undeveloped film he took at a training camp and wondered if there were an historian who would like to have it. Thank you for maintaining this history page.
