2Dogs Posted February 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2014 Found this today while cleaning out his wife's home. Charles E. Harvey, Sgt. 9136th TSU QMC ASFTC. I can not find any info on this unit. His awards are EAME w/ 4 Bronze service stars, American Defense Service Ribbon, Purple Heart, GCM. Wounded on 15 Dec. 1943, Italy. What I have questions about is the Data plate. What is it from? On the back is engraved "6-10-44 ANZIO EXPRESS" with a gun tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted February 1, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2014 Very interesting group. Your man would have been assigned to a Truck Company. Unfortunately I don't think there are many unit histories for the QMC related units. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Dogs Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted February 1, 2014 I know that when the guns were captured, they were shipped back to the U.S. I wonder if his unit was apart of the move. You are right, there is almost no info on Trans Co. for WWII or Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmhm Posted February 1, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 1, 2014 "Bremse" is the German word for "Brake" - the company is still in business, and made/makes railway braking systems: http://www.knorr-bremse.com/en/global/ Mark sends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Dogs Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted February 1, 2014 I just learned that TSU stands for Technical Service Unit. Maybe the data plate came off of one of the rail cars that was used to support the Anzio Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
