Lionel PARET

  • Hello, I am called Lionel PARET, I live in the Vosges with Vagney. I congratulate you for your site which very interesting and is well conceived. I am with the document retrieval on the release of my village and the cities neighbourhood (Remiremont, Cleurie, Saint-Heart…). I know that 601st TD Battalion was in support of the 7th regiment infantry in Vagney between on October 4, 1944. I have the JMO of the 7 RIUS and 756 Battalion tank which speaks a little bit about the missions of the TD, but I miss the JMO of the 601 of this period. Can you say to me if you have docs of this period, I saw that you had a photograph of the bridge of Vecoux, it is to 8 km of at home. Thank you to answer me please. Lionel

  • Not sure if my grandfather was in the TD's or not he received a certificate from North Camp Hood as a Pioneer. His name was Vernon Little,JR but all of his records have his name as Vernard! He was nicknamed Shorty by his brothers and family, not sure if had this name then or not. The photo in the 671st battalion shows 5 gentleman two kneeling and three standing. The one on the left looks like my grandfather but the picture is blurry and its hard to be sure. He passed away in 1985 and I was much to young to ask any questions. I requested his enlistment records from the NARA but they only have his assignments as Headquarters Company 668 Medium Port. He was a T/4 upon his discharge. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  • Fantastic Website! I am doing research for my wife, her Uncle served in the 601st Tank Destroyer Battlion and was killed in action 29 April 1945. I am searching for any information anyone may have about Pvt. Jesus V. Covarrubias S/N: 39277912 currently he is buried at the American Cemetary in Alsace Lorrane. Any information at all regarding his service and how he was killed would be greatly appreciated.

  • Very Nice site! I am the Command Historian for the SC National Guard Unit: 1st BN 178th FA. We have a shared linegage with the 813th TD as two of our batteries were used to form the 813th. When it's time for me to explore this branch of our history, I'll be back. Keep up the good work!

  • My Father, Glenn H. Curry, Jr. served in the 774th Tank Destroyer Division. Dad never talked about the war. I am just learning about some of his experiences through your website and others like it. Thanks for this labor of love.
