I am the 61 year old son of Alex Poziwilko, who was nicknamed "Pozi". My fatehr passed away in 2004.
I have a boxing glove that I recall being told the glove was found in France and hung in their tank for good luck.
The names "Hudson, Walk, Pozi, Kid, and Arky" were drawn on the glove after troops returnd to the states.
This item was mailed to my father for safe keeping by the person who had the glove since overseas.
Anyone with sentimental cutiosity is welcome to contact me.

My father was Captain James D. Synnott with the 803rd Tank Destroyer Battalion. He wouldn't talk about the war. He had an intense dislike for Patton. He told me if they hadn't run him out of gas you would not be here because he was going to get us all killed.

I had no idea this site existed. I never knew my dad was in this until after his death. He was the greatest man I never knew.

My father,Pfc Lloyd Terrell Derrick, from Balsam, NC served with the 893rd Tank Destroyer Battalion, Company "A". He was involved in four major battle campaigns and earned a Bronze Star for meritous service and uncommon valor.He fondly remembers riding in their M-10 TD through the streets of Paris during the liberation even though there were still snipers firing down at the crowds. A few years ago he was reunited with Herman B. Nail from Hanceville, Alabama. Herman was the tank's driver. I salute these brave men and all who served in the Tank Destroyer Battalions.
