- My Dad is Charlie Brown (C. H. Brown Jr.)and served with the 648 Tank Destroyer Batallion during WWII. He was wounded in the battle in Sauubruken and was beside Pfc Aldo Poloni who was KIA. He lives in Amarillo, is 88, and has a burning desire to establish contact with the next of kin of Poloni, probably in California. He knows that Poloni had two sisters, but wih marriages and changes of name, they may be difficult to contact. If anyone can help or would like to visit with my Dad, please contact me via email and I'll make it happen. I would really like to visit with Gary Payne. Thanks
