• 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.

• I am researching a 50 frank note signed on March 17, 1945. Hard to make out the writing, but it looks like "Wire Section 665 F A Bn France". Some of the signers are Kermit Latimer-PA, Edward Hall, George W. Hodge, John Hamilton, M. H. Dickey, Jr.-Texas, Joe Pope, Ed Carroll, Bill Murphy-Oklahoma, ???? Mclane. And there are others which are very faint. Does anybody know these soldiers?
