• My father was Thomas Ray (Tom) Bryan and was in Company C, 771st TD Bn. He passed away in 1995. I went to a 771st reunion with him and my mother in 1987 and had a great time. I met a lot of the people he talked about all his life- Walter Schrater, Joe Klein, John Peterson. I also remember a fellow they called "Pete the Beak" and another guy named Artie who was quite a character. Shraeter was in his tank along with Tom Fannon and Lloyd Leslie.

• My compliments on your very professional site. The 813th was attached many times to my dad's unit and their actions were always stellar. I would like to know the name of the leader of 3rd PL B Company 8 Aug44 during the action in LeMans. My dad has always wondered who the man was that 'saved his bacon'. Dad was commander of 2nd Pl B Troop 121 Cav. Thanks

• Have been searching for years about info on the 643rd TDB. My father didn't want to talk much about his recon unit was badly torn up on April 12 at Barby, Germany prior to the taking of the Elbe river.5 Men were killed and a number were wounded. My Father was among the wounded and he sorely saddened about losing so many of his buddies during the remainder of his life.His name was Bill Francis and was on the M-8 Armored car serving in the Recon unit.

• I want to think you for the article written by Bill Oettle. My grandfather was Harold Jones, my grandmother told me about the mine his TD hit in the North Apennines Mountains, but I didn't know the details of it. My grandfather never spoke of his experience during the war, so I know very little about it. I would be very appreciative of any other stories or pictures that anyone has to share. If anyone has any questions for me, please feel free to ask, I don't know much about my grandfather's war experience, but I was fortunate to have him in my life until 2002. He was a great man and a wonderful grandfather.
