Dec-1944-St.-Vith--Belgium-917
A picture of a M8 Combat Armoured vehicle of the 814th on the dust jacket of World War II AFV's ARMOURED FIGHTING VEHICLES & SELF PROPELLED ARTILLERY published by Osprey. The picture shows Calvin Boykin and his crew in a replacement vehicle that they were issued shortly after losing their original M-8 on 23 December 1944 at St. Vith, Belgium. Calvin Boykin stated about the photo, “Can't say that I remember this being taken, but for one thing the crew is definitely mine, and the timing is soon after 23 December 1944, after receving a replacement M-8 and a new crew, except for me. Other original crew members moved to other assignments - radio operator to company radio man, section sgt. to platoon sgt, and driver to Hdq to recuperate from a bad case of nerves. (The driver was older by 17 years than me at 20, so he knew more than I did what could have happened and what might have happened)." Image courtesy of Anne Boykin.
