I was very glad to find this site. My grandfather, Lt. Col. Elmer R. Staib, was in the 610th. He was the lieutenant mentioned in the history who was with his men on Mousson Hill during the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Croix de Guerre. I have a roll of undeveloped film he took at a training camp and wondered if there were an historian who would like to have it. Thank you for maintaining this history page.

great new site, clearer and easier to use... when will there be an article on TD soldier equipment?

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!

Grandson of Regis H Gallagher, 672d Amphibian Tractor Battalion. Thanks you for honoring him and is brothers in arms.

My grandfather from New Haven CT served with the 528th Field Artillery Battalion Unit- (part of the 224th unit)- activated Feb 21, 1944, at Camp Hood Texas. He was transferred from Camp Pickett VA.

My cousen Russell Kunz was in the 607th TD. He was born in a lake community of Leland WA and worked as a logger and shingle splitter. Joined the C.C.C as a logger then when the draft was started he was the FIRST from the county to join

My grandfather was in the 635th his was name Dell Kennedy. Looking see if there are pictures or any information on him here.

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.

I visit this website often, as my late dad is a member, and I look to see if any additional members of his unit { 610th TD BN. } have been added. Great website, and THANK YOU !! Ralph Blatterspiel
