M. Lee Brokaw (Jacoby)

  • My dad was Cpt. Marsh Jacoby of Company A, 817th, second platoon. He died in his fifties. My most memorable time with him was riding around Wichita, he on his blue Harley and I on my blue BSA Spitfire MKIII. He never liked to camp out with my Boy Scout Troop. He said he never wanted to be cold again. As I l;earned the history of the Bulge, I can now understand.

Don Andre

  • My dad, George Andre' was in the 610 TDB. Wounded in Sept. '44. Back in action for the Bulge around Christmas time. Never talked much about the war but was proud to have served.

Michael Parks

  • I really enjoyed reading about the TD history and was especially glad to find my father. W.R. Parks listed in company B 813 tank destroyer battalion. He was wounded in France and was in Madigan Hospital for a year after.

Carol Rohland Farrell

  • We just had the local Rohland family reunion and members of the family only had good words to say about my Dad's page (Thomas R. Rohland). We are so proud of him and we are very honored for all of the hard work you all have done to make the men of the tank destroyer battalions heroes to the rest of the world. Wonderful sites like this does not happen overnight! Thank-you so much!! Carol Farrell

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

Phillip Dickens

  • 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.
