Took basic and advanced TD training at North Camp Hood from July 1944 - Jan. 1945. Was sent to Germany and was assigned to the 771st TD Bn, a NJ National Guard unit that was activated in 1941 (I think). They were in North Africa, then to Italy and into Germany. When the war ended in Germany, I was sent back to US and assigned to the 643d TD Bn in San Luis Obispo, CA.

My Dad, Paul E.Rush served in 1st Platoon, Company B, 811th Tank Destroyer Battalion.
He didn't talk much about his times in WWII, but thanks to this web site, I found out that as a M-18 Gunner, while defending Bastogne, he knocked out two enemy tanks (Mark VI)in a day, One a single shot at 800 yards.
I'm so proud of him.

Found this site looking for units that spent time at Camp Bewdley Stourport England. I am co-ordinating efforts to preserve the remains of this camp and commemorate the time of US service personel that served there. I would welcome any information from veterans descendents that throws light on their time at this camp

My Dad was with the 894th TD Bn.His name was Cheyne "Kit" Carson. He served with folks like Herbert Siercks, Arthur Wiest. They were brave men!So proud of their history. My Dad once wrote that when he died, "he knew he'd go to heaven, because he's already served his time in hell!"His unit was nominated to Guiness Book of records for most consecutive days of combat in WW II.
