I am the granddaughter of Luther Rolen. He was believed to be a member of this battalion. We know that he was possibly one of the tank drivers. The family and I would love to know about his service and any stories or information anyone might have about him.

Just received confirmation that my grandfather, James Hillenburg Jr. was a tank driver in the 809th TD Batallion by Golden Arrow Research. We were able to find him in the Company B photo on this website. I’m looking forward to learning more about his service. God Bless our Veterans!

My father Henry Thomas (Jim) O’Grady was in the 774 Tank Battalion..................Carol, I am sorry but our site only deals with soldiers that served in tank destroyer units. Because there was both a 774th TD and tank battalion, it can be very confusing. -Rob
