My Dad was Clarence T. Leddy, who served in the 819th Recog. Unit in WWII in Palau. He would never discuss with me his time in the war prior to his passing in 1982 at age 60, so it has been very interesting to discover the history of the unit via this web site. I spoke by telephone just yesterday with Richard A. Scalise, who served in the unit with my Dad. I would welcome any contact from anyone who would have know/remembers my Dad. I can never fully express the gratitude and appreciation to all who served with him...

My stepdad was Wayne Moore - he spoke very little about his experience in Bastogne with the 705 td. I've always wondered what grief he must have experienced during that ordeal. My hat is off to all those brave men who faced the germans there.
If anyone happens to have known him, I would be very grateful for any information you could share with me. Many thanks.

My father S. Sgt. George Owsley was with the 603rd TD Battalion and was looking up some history. Thank you so much for making this site available. Out of his estate we have pictures of the battalion and will be contacting you to see if you would like copies.

When working as a project officer for Combat Developments Command, I was told that the M60A1E2 was "a damned tank destroyer." I then consulted WWII manuals and learned enough about TD deployment to write tactics for the "damned thing." I have been intrigued by the TD concept ever since.

My grandfather Graden James Cook was in the 631st. I am grateful to him and everyone else who has served. I am lucky to have a 13 year old son who is very active in studying WW2 and the history afterwards. We have a few pictures but not much. If anyone has more we would be interested in seeing them.I believe his rank was S/Sargent. Thank you. :) :)

I am somewhat a history buff (WWII) and seeing as to how my father-in-law, Cpl. Clifford Jack (RIP) served this great country of ours in the 603rd, I am interested in learning more about what he did, where all he went. Mr. Jack passed away a few years before I met and married his wonderful daughter, so I never got the chance to meet him. I have been reading his diary, preserved all his medals, commendations, citations etc. to present them to his grandson (my stepson) when he turns 21.
