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.

This website is great. My grandfather served in the 703rd TD BTN in the 3rd armored division from the beginning until the end of WWII. He started out with the M10 TD and graduated to the M36 towards the end of the war. This is the only site I've seen dedicated to the men who fought in tank destroyers. It was really great reading their histories. Please contact me as my grandmother and I would love to share his story and pictures from WWII. His name was SGT Frank Walker.

I wish to thank the administrators of this sight for the preservation of this history and the honor it gives to a generation passing quickly from our sight, if not memory. My father Blondell Eugene Groseclose served in recon units for both the 607th and 811th. Though he passed in 98, this would have been his 100th birthday. I miss him dearly. Thank you and all of you who visit this "virtual" memorial, and especially the surviving men and women lives were changed by the struggle for freedom in that great and terrible war. May God bless us all in this holiday season and throughout the New Year.

I have a framed map/chart (approx. 16"x24") that says "Victory Greetings" with the complete schedule of the "First Tank Destroyer Group". I will be happy to send it to anyone who will appreciate it. It has no sentimental attachment for me, as I purchased it at a yard sale or thrift shop because I love maps.
