muddyboots Posted June 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2020 I seen this set of tags the other day and I couldn’t pass them up. They belonged to a member of the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion. He was the driver of a M-10 tank and I’m not sure of when he became a member of the 601st but I did find information on him the Italian Campaign. He was wounded in 1945 somewhere in Germany. .

muddyboots Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted June 24, 2020 This information came out of American Knights: The Untold Story of the Men of the Legendary 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion. There might be more information in the book but I won’t know until I purchase it or if someone has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
