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. .

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.C5987663-B3C5-4BC6-AA23-C479A9B72725.jpeg
