My father served with the 801st tank destroyer battalion. He entered the service on January 29, 1942. He trained at Fort Niagara and Fort McClellan. He left for overseas in August 1944. He was in the battle of France, Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. He was wounded at Luxemburg on December 24, 1944. He’s a member of the 26th Yankee division of the third army under General Patton.
I am looking for any information or photographs of my father.

In the picture posted for Company B is my grandfather, Troy Lee Hollandsworth of Indian Valley, Virginia. His copy of this same picture still hangs on the walls of my grandparents home. He is also listed on the posted roster but his full name is not included as it is too long to fit within the columns or to even include his initials.
Before his death, he pulled out a photo album of pictures from the war and shared pictures of others from his company. I would be willing to scan and send copies but cannot identify anyone in the pictures. He also was asked to take photos of proof of concentration camp atrocities and the album included some of those photos. He never talked about or wanted to discuss the war. Oddly enough, after all those years of not talking about it, i was visiting and he decided to shared this album of pics from the war with me a few months before his death.
Thank your for your research and preserving this history!

Hello ! My father was Capt. Robert C. Miller of Carlock, IL. He was in First Platoon of Company A of the 691st Tank Destroyer Battalion. My husband and I are researching to see where he was during the war. He was wounded on November 5, 1944 at Toul, France, just west of Nancy, France. If anyone out there has any additional helpful information about Capt. Robert C. Miller would be most appreciated.
