Jim Baker Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's always fun to discover interesting things about our "stuff". I bought this TD manual that belonged to J.B. Gregg. Turns out he later co-authored a history of the 804th TD Bn. Not a big deal, just fun. Collecting WWII Armor and Tank Destroyer Items Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Baker Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 A cool photo. Check out his insignia. I've seen these used as the "centers" of early lapel brass, but not worn by themselves. Until now. Collecting WWII Armor and Tank Destroyer Items Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Baker Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good save. Sad to think of what has been thrown away over the years. Collecting WWII Armor and Tank Destroyer Items Link to post Share on other sites
Wlundy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Currently don't have a picture to post but my father and I probably have the neatest Tank Destroyer Battalion piece. We own a Dodge WC-55 M6 gun motor carriage which saw use with the 601st and 701st TD Battalions. These trucks are rather rare and photo's of them are almost classified as unicorns. If any of you gentlemen with photographs of TD Battalions have any pictures of a dodge please let me see. Link to post Share on other sites
