Ellen Varlas Culler

  • Thank you for this informative site on Tank Destroyer Battalions. My father George Varlas from Wheeling WV served with the 635th Battalion,as he says "his outfit was pulled to go where ever needed", hence they were referred to as a "***" outfit. The site gives me far more knowledge of his service to our country which he speaks little of. He is currently 92 years old. This June my family just visited the Normandy Beaches and the American Cemetary in Normandy above Omaha Beach where my father came in. It is quite moving. 7/2012

  • Very rich, informative and well organized site.

  • I was very pleased to find this site. My father, Porter Glen Kennedy served in the 809 TD Battalion. As I read this I was remined of the places I had heard him mention. Dad passed away on May, 1, 2011 at 89 years of age. He had fond memories of the men he served with.

  • My Father in law James H Anderson was in the 772 tank battalion. He was a Sargent of a Sherman tank. Jim is still living in Winona, MN He gave me a *** flag with other names of troops from Minnesota. Anyone know him?

  • I am writing a biography to be entitled "Cold Blooded Honour", which will centre around 5 family members, my tanker Dad being one.Your site is such an eye-opener. In 1961 Dad drove us to Normandy and then for the next 3 weeks, followed by road the route his tanks took to Remagen and to his last battle,at Aachen. His tank was on the front page in Stars and Stripes as hhe was one of the 1st Yanks across the bridge.

  • Would have loved to seen more pictures of the 812th Battalion. I have a copy of the Thanksgiving Menu from their dinner in 1943. My father, Clifford H. Rice served with this company. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 83. He was very proud to have served and talked about his ordeals often.
