| Comments: | Sunday 9-22-19 my son and I went to visit the Rockford "Midway Village" reenactment. Because of two days of steady rain the event was cancelled. While sitting at a stop light a M4 Sherman crossed in front of us going down the road. So we followed it. We had a great view of them loading it onto the trailer. But our day got even better when farther down the road we found two more trailers being loaded with more equipment. Thank you for keeping them running and make for a great day! |

| Comments: | Chuck The new version of the book is now out with even more photos and details from the olden years of the HRS. Get your free copy from me at Rockford, but if you cannot wait it is available from Lulu.com. I think I got all the flubs out at last! Yesterday, the wife noticed your photo book sitting on my shelf. Out of sight out of mind and too late for this edition, I’ve added a note for next year regarding your book. Question: When I go to Rockford this year and if I take a vehicle and am dragging my trailer, my travel buddy and I may want to see the U505 (he’s never been there) – could I come by for another visit and leave the trailer behind at your place so I do not have to tow it through Chicagoland? If we decide on this plan we would (likely) arrive Tuesday afternoon and spend the night at the local motel in Rochelle so we can head for the S&I Museum Wednesday morning and spend the day in Chicago and head back to Rochelle after the PM rush hour. Then I would return that evening or Thursday morning to reclaim the trailer and head for Rockford. Tanks Terry |

The U.S. Military Railroad Service was the back bone of supply for transporting huge volumes of supplies that were always needed by our fighting units on the front. Why were these Railroad Units overlooked post war. Even the unit histories are difficult to locate. Their story should be told, or don't people care anymore? |

I have his two "70 Tank Battalion" arm patches, his pins, his many ribbons, some nazi items, his bronze star medal, and some more very personal items from the war. I am eagerly trying to learn as much about his time in the war and with the 70th as possible. Are there some other sites you can point me to so that I can find out more information? I have his dog-tags. Can I use that number to access his exact movements with the army? Any advice is appreciated!!! |

| Comments: | I am so thrilled that I found your site! I can't believe it took me this long. My Grandfather was Robert J. Newman. He was a sergeant in the 70th but I've been told that he was awarded a battlefield commission and his discharge papers list him as a 2nd LT in October 1945 when he went into the reserves. You have a picture taken before the war at Ft. A. P. Hill, captioned "Sergeant Newman eating lunch..." that I believe is him. I know that he was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action involving the rescue of wounded comrades from their tank on 09NOV1942, 6 miles SW of Port Lyautey, French Morocco. I know that he was also awarded the Purple Heart and at least one Bronze Star but I do not know the details of those awards or the events that led to his commission. Like most men who lived through the war, he never talked about it much and by the time I was old enough to realize how important it was and sit and talk to him man to man, he was gone. If you have any other photos or info about him, please contact me. |

I am now writing a novel about their young lives...This chapter about my father's death is very hard to do. The reality of what happened to those brave men in that forest is incomprehensible. I feel my family left me a legacy to share with the world and I won't rest until my novel is complete and published. There are so many that feel as I do about WW11, and I am grateful for that. |

| Comments: | My grandfather was TEC 5 C.F. Mitchell. Our family was always aware that Paw Paw served in WWII but because he wouldn't talk much about it we knew very little in terms of details. The most vivid reminder to us all of his service was his small collection of shrapnel that was removed from his body. Periodically pieces of shrapnel would become irritated and he would have them removed. Pieces that were large enough he drilled a hole in and kept on a key chain. He went to his grave carrying pieces of WWII in his body. Paw Paw passed in 1994. My grandmother allowed me to scrounge for any remenants that might unfold the story of his time in service. I found very little as he had almost completely isolated those years of his life. I found the wallet he carried during the war. In it was his enlisted mans identification card for the European Theater. There was also a copy of a set of special orders showing him being promoted from PVT to TEC 5. At one point in his service he had obtained the rank of SGT but that is a story in itself. I also found a small journal he kept during the war. Armed with these artifacts I began my journey 16 years ago to uncover my grandfather's story. This summer, after 16 years, I stumbled across Roberts Armory. I called them and shared with them the information I had. Mrs. Roberts took down the information and promised to research their archives. I'll never forget the next time I spoke with her. "We found your grandfather," she said. "He was with the Headquarters Company in the 70th Tank Bn." I'm a grown man, a father and a former Marine and I am not ashamed to say that tears rolled downed my cheeks. Let me explain why. Many of us have watched the Band of Brothers. In a nut shell what Mrs. Roberts confrimed for me and my entire family was that TEC 5 C.F. Mitchell was there on June 6, 1944 when the 70th Tank Bn came ashore at Utah Beach and hooked up with the boys of the 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles, later that evening. I also knew the men my grandfather served with during the invasion of Sicily. On Saturday, August 14, 2010, my two sons and I traveled from our home in Kentucky to Rochelle, IL. The Roberts opened their museum just for us. They very affectionately showed us their amazing collection and shared story after story, detail after detail, about the 70th with us. At one point, they showed me the company roster that held my grandfather's name. Words cannot explain what this has meant to my family, especially my sons. Pride doesn't even begin to touch it. Gratitude and Awe...what an amazing generation of warriors. Chuck and Lydia, thank you so much...may God richly bless you as you have been such a blessing to us. Brett Green, Grandson of TEC 5 C.F. Mitchell, 70th Tank Bn, WWII |

| Comments: | I met an elderly gentleman last Saturday, July 24, at the Southside Works cinema in Pittsburgh. We were discussing the movie that had just let out and he began telling me about his service during WWII. He went on to tell me he was part of the 70th Tank Battalion and served for 5 years during the war. I think I was so awe struck to meet this man that I forgot to ask him his name. I read and watch everything I possibly can about World War II and the sacrifice so many of those men and women made. If anyone knows who I am speaking of please pass this message along to this kind man... Thank you very much for the freedom we all enjoy every day of our lives. |

| Comments: | Chuck.. Thanks so much to you and your wife for opening up the museum to my Dad last week. I could see his England/Normandy experience come flooding back after all these years. His unit had a "Weasel" they got to play with until his CO made them get rid of it, that's why he was in the SW corner alot. You are a tribute to WWII history. Keep up the fabulous work, and thanks again. Steve Frye |

He participated in the African Campaigns with the 1st. ID; the Sicilian campaign with the 9th. ID and D-Day, Northern France, the Rhineland, Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge)& Central Europe with the 4th. ID. He also participated in Korea where he was severely injured. FYI, the 70th. is the most decorated BN in military history. He enjoyed going yerarly to the 70th. reunions and he attended his last one, the 60th., in Sept., 2007 at Ft.Meade, MD. He passed away on New Year's Day. JOE PECKERWOOD -- STRIKE SWIFTLY. |

| Comments: | Just wanted to share an interesting event that happened to me recently. First, it is important to know that my Dad was in the original 70th from its constitution in 1940 to its 1946 inactivation.Anyway, I was recently in London on business and visited the Imperial War Museum. In the D-Day exhibit, they have a display where you can listen to 4 different D-Day vets recount their experiences on June 6 1944. One of the vets is John Ahearn of the 70th who was wounded by a mine on Utah beach. It was quite a thrill to see that of all the units involved in the Normandy invasion, the curators of the museum thought the 70th worthy of inclusion! I must tell you that it made me a very proud Yank. Please help keep their memory alive!! |

From what I can see of pictures taken recentely, the camp has really changed over the years. I took lots of pictures of equipment and of the camp during that period.

| Comments: | Currahee Military Weekend Oct 12-15, 2006The Toccoa/Stephens County Historical Society invites you to attend our third annual Camp Toccoa Reunion and Reenactment Events. Camp Toccoa, now made famous by Band of Brothers, was the birthplace of the 501st, 506th, 507th, 511th, and 517th Parachute Infantry Regiments as well as the 460th Arty Battalion, and 596th Combat Engineers (Airborne). We will have Veterans, or their families, from all these regiments attending, along with Veterans of all conflicts since WWII. The 501st, 506th and 507th Vietnam - present day will also have members attending, as well as from the 101st, 82nd, Rangers, and most other units of the U.S. military.This year we are expanding our focus for the reunion and reenactments to include all WWII units, both Allied and Axis. There has been great response throughout the U.S. and Europe. We hope to have several hundred re-enactors take part along with several different military vehicle associations. There will also be displays and aircraft from today’s military. The event will take place at the Toccoa Airport, October 12-15, 2006.One of the Weekend events will be the dedication of the new Currahee Military Museum which is housed in the restored Toccoa train depot, the debarkation point for most of those men who trained here. Tour the stables used for quarters by first A, then E company of the 506th P.I.R brought "across the pond" from Aldbourne England. This $325,000+ ongoing project is being paid for with donations and proceeds from reunions. During the Currahee Military Weekend we will dedicate the Currahee Military Museum to honor all of our Veterans.Those interested may participate in the Currahee Challenge Road Race, the "three miles up and three miles down" we saw in Band of Brothers.This year I am sending invitations to all Military Academies and many military colleges urging them to send a class/corps of cadets to the Currahee Military Weekend. We have lost so many veterans in the last few years, this may be the last opportunity to meet and talk with living heroes. Our invitation is extended to everyone: veterans, active duty personnel, military buffs, history buffs and each and every American who wishes to show their pride in out Veterans. If you know of others who may be interested, please pass along our invitation to them.

| Comments: | I came upon your site while trying to do research on my father. If I acn remember correctly he did 2 tours of duty. He was stationed at Fort Sam Houston with the 70th Calvary Recon Troop. Then I found a picture of him in uniform, displaying his rank which was E-6. On the back of the pic, there was some writing, D' Troop 6th Cons, and he was stationed at Codurg, Germany. The date was 02/17/4?. The rest was cut off. Could someone out there email me , I would really like to know more about what kind of soldier he was. If anybody has any info, I would greatly appreciate it. My daughter served in the Marine Corp and has only been out a year. We decided to try and get some history down to pass along. So again if anyone has any kind of info whatsoever, Please! contact me. Thank You and God Speed! Eva |

| Comments: | Hello, you have a very very nice site. We are members of a club in the very south of Holland which is keeping many WWII vehicles "alive". My husband and I own a GMC CCKW 353 and a Willys jeep. With these vehicles we join many events every year in Holland, Belgium and France etc. to remember all heroes who have served. Our children are teached about this history in school untill today. Now we are looking for information about the "Operation Husky" in Sicily. It seems that the vehicles that had landed there had a yellow circle on the hood?? Maybe someone can tell us more about this item. By the way, our club is named Santa Fe. Our website is www.santafe-events.com, unfortunately it has not yet been translated in English. Thank you and greetings from Holland |

We are in the process of inheriting (5) 75mm Pack Howitzers from a unit that is being deactivated. These guns will be used for various ceremonies here at W.P. My soldiers will be responsible for the upkeep of these guns, but we have no Technical Manuals (TMs). I would be willing to spend my own money in order to acquire a manual to photo copy and return or to purchase it outright. Also, if anyone knows where to find a gun to replace aged parts on these, that would be a major plus.Thank you,Matt Billings |

I am trying to find out what I can about the single, towed version. Is there a carriage out there for restoration? Will I have to just build one to use. I have found some new barrels and may do the paperwork to activate and register it. I hope to see your Traveling Museum someday. Do you have an idea as to value of the receiver? I have some pictures.Thank You,Steve Romans |

| Comments: | Let me tell you about my Dad. 2 Lt. Willis Duke Warren of the 741 Tank Batillion. Co. B. His co. landed first on Omaha Beach that morning. They were launched too far out from the beach. Dad said were on a Time Table. They Launched and so many men died due to the water being too rough. He launched stared in and told his men to come to the top and get the raft ready andtold driver to lock the gear in and come up top. He was driving from the top anyway. Good thing the sides broke in sending the armys secret wepon to the bottom but not the men. the were picked up to get another tank. From there D Day to Hedge row country, Hill 192, Rocarath and krenkelt The twin villages of the Battle of the bulge.His Tank Was the last tank out of that Village before the German push. He lost many friends there. Dad told me that neather side was tanking prisoners. It was a fight to the death. He had his tank knocked out losenig his driver. Later going back into that tank to get the amo with was running out. He had to wipe his drivers brains off the 76mm Shells. He always said God was there helping him and his men to get home safe. Frome there they went to Chekcolvoka to show force to The Russian and even to fight them if need be.

It was also quite a kick to see that the vehicles were made in 1943. That was the year I was born. You have some very good people in your unit and I will be sure to keep track of them. I look forward to riding with any of them again. Thanks so much. George Young |

| Comments: | What a great site. I am the son of a 70th Tanker. My father, Henry E. Davidson, Jr. was an original member of the battalion, served with the battalion thru out the war and commanded the unit from August 1944 until the end of the war. Viewing this site has brought back many memories from my child hood. I have stood on most of the battalion's battlefields in Europe, visited the grave sites of many of the KIA, and attended some of the reunions in the late 1940's and early 1950's. I served in combat in Vietnam with the 1st Squadron, Fourth US Cavalry,1st Infantry Division. I knew some of the officers pictured in your sites. My father passed away in 1980 and in burried in Arlington National Cemetery. I would be greatly honored to attend one of your reunions. Ron Davidson |

| Comments: | How come their arnt any Valentine tanks. I know that tis as an American orginivation but I get upset every time that canadians are not given the proper recognition they deserve and that Through out the First and Second world Wars we are refered to as "British troops" Even tough befer this point we were indipendant and had our own army, navy, and air force. I am sorry that this note Rambles on but it was some thing I needed to get of my chest. P.S. This is a really cool sight. |

I believe they are still on-going, but my Dad has passed away. I have a copy of the history of the 70th from its inception and the battles these men fought in. I hope one day in the not too distant future to travel to the Normandy beaches. Thanks for what you're doing. |

I was in 2nd Battalion 70th Armor Ferris Barracks Erlangen Germany from 89 to 91... we were known as the Iron Tigers and we were called up to fight in Operation Desert Storm. The 70th has possibly one of the greatest lineages in armor history being that they were the first independent armor regiment. I'm glad to see that no one forgets even the first days of the 70th Armor! STRIKE SWIFTLY! |

| Comments: | What a great site. My father served in the Canadian Army during the final years of WWII. He served in Canada's little known Pacific Division as a 4.2 in motor crewman. All his brothers and cousins from Toronto Ontario served in the war as well. His brother Harry left Canada in 1939 with the 48th Highlanders. My dad was 11 when he watched his brother leave for war at the Toronto Train Station. My uncle left as a private in the infantry and returned home as a Sergeant Major in the 1st Canadian Airborne Regiment. When my Uncle Harry finally returned to Canada at the end of the war my father was 18 or 19 years old and a Corporal in the Army. My father’s cousin Hubert landed in Normandy on Juno Beach D-Day +2 and was critically wounded during the beach head breakout. Cousin Hubert was in the Canadian Signals Corps. His unit was DF by a German 88mm Battery. His unit and friends were wiped out and everyone was left for dead. One final check was made before the main unit had to move on. Hubert was found barley alive in a burning vehicle. He was quickly medically evacuated back to Juno Beach and then back to England. He remained in hospital for the next year in Canada recovering from his wounds. My father told me that he had great difficulty dealing with the fact that most if not of his comrades had been killed in that artillery bombardment. After the war my father and many of his family and friends that served in WWII would meet frequently at our family hunting lodge in Trout Creek Ontario. I’m sure after a few drinks and few hands of poker they were able to let go of their experiences in WWII. Later on in the 70’s our American cousins who were Vietnam Veterans from Buffalo came to the lodge. I remember listening to the many conversations between the two generations of war veterans. I think it was the influence of these two proud groups of men that left a lasting impression on a ten year old boy. I have now served 18 years in the Canadian Army and Navy, 11 years in the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and seven years in Naval Intelligence. Cousin Hubert taught me the fundamentals of shooting a rifle at the hunting lodge when I was a small boy. Later on in 1988 I had the honour of being a member of Canada’s top military shooting team. Our Rifle team was awarded the prestigious Letson Trophy in Ottawa Ontario. Along with the Letson Trophy we won the honour of representing Canada at Bisley England for the Commonwealth Rifle Competition in 1989. When I pin my Letson Rifle Decoration on my uniform I always think of my father, his family and friends that served in WWII and next generation of veterans who served in Vietnam. Keep up the good work and never forget the sacrifices of others…Keep the history alive. |

| Comments: | I was wondering if you or anyone here can tell me something, I have around 30 REAL black and white photo's taken by one of my fathers friend's in the marines, they were in the south pacfic, they split the photos after the war, my father gave them to me, they show Dead Japanese, two shows large ditch graves with bulldozer filling in and covering hundreds of dead Japs. One shows the wars dogs Doverman pinchers, the marine's used+more, these picture were taken on Iwo Jima, Gualdalcanal, marshall islands, other small islands in the area, just wondering how much would these picture be worth ..?? They are kept in plastic and are in better shape than most of my 1950's photos...if anyone knows anything about these let me know. |

| Comments: | A friend pointed me to your page at http://www.roberts.ezpublishing.com/rarmory/gas.htm I have long rembered the "bladders" shown on British taxis during WWII and am still looking for someone who can provide details on HOW the conversion was made. In London, the taxi drivers would put a huge bladder - much like a modern day waterbed mattress - on the luggage rack and pipe it to the engine. filled with natural gas (bio-gas?), it would provide enough fuel to keep the cabbies in business. Do you have any sources on how the conversions were made? Either the wood chip or natural gas conversion would make me very happy. Thank you James W.

| Comments: | Hello Lydia: Thank you for the "Do's & Dont's For Women On Parade". It is amazing and interesting to read the grooming and appearance requirements for the women in uniform during WWII! Great to see everyone at the Airport Hangar Dance last month. |

| Comments: | Another fine public re-enactment at Lowell, Indiana. Wonderful weather, GI Joes, Tanks, Airborne, Warbirds, and Nazis all in one place. What could be better on a Sunday afternoon? I always feel fortunate to live in a location where I can get to see some of the best equipped re-enactor groups in the country. There were so many vehicles on the field that I kept thinking "someone's going to get run over". A great show; looking forward to Rockford '02! |

| Comments: | Hi Chuck, Of course I visit here every so often. I was glad to see mail to you from Ed Monohan sent on Jan. 8 of this year. This is the only fellow soldier that served with me in Light Tank Troop, 14th Constabulary Rgt. in Schweifurt Germany in 1946, that I have made contact with in 55 years. Thanks to the internet. I have never found anyone I served with in the Phillipines in 45. Thanks Chuck for putting his picture in. Bill J. |

| Comments: | Hi Chuck, Had such a good time at the 70th Tank Btln. party. You and Lydia are such great hosts. Thanks for the CD on Wilmot. I have looked at some of it. It's well done.Glad you enjoyed the video of Lowell of last May. I wont be able to make the 101 party you sent me the brochure for. I will be in New Orleans for the Pacific War celebration. By the way you have a blank space on the activities for the 70th for 1999. The caption says "M8 armored car" I think it's the one you took of me standing by the M8. See you guys at the next dance.
