My late grandfather was in the 701st TD Battalion Company B. What a wonderful site you have made! Amazing to see the pictures and read the text that you've gathered. Sure wish that he were still around to share his stories and this site with.

PFC Harold "Huck" Wray was my half-uncle (my dad's half brother). He was in A Co. 817th TD Bn and was killed on Dec 26th 1944, along with PVT Vito Marco. As best I can tell from documents posted here, they were killed by a land mine. I would love to get an electronic or printed copy of the 817th while the unit was still intact, e.g., before it deployed. Please contact me if you know how I can do that.

Dad, Horace B. Cunningham was in Company C of the 805. He wrote an account of being stranded behind lines as out lined in http://www.tankdestroyer.net/images/stories/ArticlePDFs/805th_TD_Jan_17-May_29_43_Battalion_Diary.pdf on 16 and 17 February 1943 and in Annex C.. Am interested to know of others in that unit that may have accounts or
pictures. All sacrificed, many made it. Chet

My father and his twin brother served together in the 640.
As a youngster I attended several reuions and met with most of their "buddies". It is an honor to have the memories of those "Great Men".

My Uncle Phillip Manis served with Co B 636th TD Battalion. I have several pictures with various members of the unit. I would be happy to send digital copies to others who might be able to identify people in the photos

My father is James D. Willis who was with the 817th TD BN. Co. A when they left Fort Hood. He is listed as being attached to the Headquarters Company in this web roster. He drove ammo truck and later was assigned to drive jeep for staff. My dad will be 94 as of this writing and has never talked of the war until just recently. He is an amazing man who lived through an amazing time. He is my hero.

Thank you for this very informative site! I'm trying to learn a little more about my grandfather's life-he passed away over 30 years ago when I was very young. He was Julian "Jake" Storms of Co B 636th. According to my grandmother, he never spoke about the war after he returned home. Your site has given me some insight into his time in service. Thank you.

I post this to honor my Father John R. Mohr (Rudy) he served with the 824 TD as a Sergeant in Company B. He was a gun section commander and then when the unit converted to the M18 Hellcats a vehicle commander. His driver was Pete Amico. I don't know the name of the rest of the crew but the Platoon Commander was Lt. Sheridan I believe.
