My father, Randall M. Curtis, was a Private in Company B of the 814th Tank Destroyer Battalion. This site is helping me to find out something about his unit, as Dad never talked about his Army days. I have a couple of pictures taken at Ft. Polk, LA but that's it. Thanks.

I am the son of Col Robert C McDonald Jr., Cdr. of the 808th TD BN, I have some info about the 808th, but I need to organize it before I can share. I like your site and what you are doing for the TD Bn's showing their history and service.

I am the neice of 2nd Lt. Weldon Griffin. I am brand new to this website but have already seen two pictures of my uncle, one taken in 1985 and the other August 1945.
I have pictures taken of my uncle during WWII with his dog Wolf. I will be happy to search for them and have prints made to send to the site.

Hello,
I have enjoyed visiting this site. I’m the Chief Instruction at the 138th Regiment (Combat Arms) at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. The 138th has direct linage to the 638th Tank Destroyer Battalion formed early in WW II. We wear the “Seek and Destroy” Distinctive Insignia. I’m researching the 638th TD for a historical exhibit in a wing of our building. Being located in Indiana and an Indiana National Guard unit, we would like to find information on any Indiana soldiers who served in the 638th during WW II. Our intent is to honor our linage with information, photo’s and museum style exhibit cases of replica/reproduction artifacts. If anyone can help us with Indiana soldier information and or photographs, please contact me.

What a great site. I am an avid armor model builder currently working on an M 18 Hellcat and your site helped a lot. Thanks, John.

I didn't mention in my earlier posting that my father, Rusell Newell of Co B 607th died in 1984.
Also, I found a good website for the Field Artillery Officers' Candidate School at Fort Sill for those who are interested. They are having a reunion April 30- May 3,2014. http://faocsalumni.org
I also want to honor two TD men who were killed in action and are buried in the National Cemetery in Memphis, TN: 1 Lt Richard A. Reynolds of Co B, 607th and 1 Lt Richard J. Merrill, of Co C 610th

This site is great! I am researching Alan Dean Tuck's (my father) history. He was in C Company 813th TD, wounded near Berg Germany in December 1944. In 1976 I was able to visit the area with him.
