Traynor - 704th TD Battalion."Somewhere in France".He was a driver of an M-18 Hellcat TD.At Sinz-Nennig, his TD got hit by a Panther tank killing most of his crew and his good friend John F. Prusaczyk.He was left behind as the US Medics thought he was dead, got picked up by German Medics and ended up in a hospital.Escaped with two RAF blokes and was found more dead than alive at a potato field by members of the 11th Armored division.
