The unit’s first engagement came on November the 8th, only days after this photo was taken. The men of the 761st Tank Battalion, chose their own logo and motto shortly after the unit was activated in 1942: a black panther and “Come Out Fighting.” They lived up to the motto, enduring 183 continuous days in combat, and earning four campaign medals, 11 Silver Stars, 69 Bronze Stars and about 300 Purple Hearts.

July 1940. Albert Gerald Lewis (10 April 1918 - 14 December 1982) was a South African born fighter ace during the war, who was featured in a 'Life' magazine article about the Battle of Britain. Lewis received his Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) in July 1940 and his citation read that during the Battle of France on May the 19th, he shot down five enemy aircraft before he himself was shot down over Lille. He then joined No.249 Squadron RAF on the 15th of September 1940. One the same day he shot down a Heinkel He.111 and on the 18th, a Messerschmitt Bf. 109 (his twelfth confirmed enemy aircraft). On the 27th of September he claimed 6 kills (three Bf 109s, two Bf 110s and a Ju 88), two probables and one damaged. While on a patrol on the 28th of September he was shot down and he baled out of his Hurricane over Faversham and was taken to Faversham Cottage Hospital, blind for two weeks, and with shrapnel in his legs with severe burns on the face, throat, hands and legs. He returned to the Squadron in December, 1940, having been promoted Flight Lieutenant on the 29th of November. He was flying by the 17th of January 1941, and became "A" Flight Commander, and was awarded a bar to the DFC. His final tally was 18 kills A group of veteran German prisoners captured at Maltot, south west of Caen, Normandy. 23rd of July 1944. I think that some or all of these 'Veterans' could be from the Grenadier Regiment 980 (formerly 348), 272nd Infantry Division (formerly the 216th), which had been decimated on the Eastern Front in July 1943.

One has the Wound Medal in Black (3rd class, representing Iron) for those wounded once or twice by hostile action).

At the outbreak of the Second World War, the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers consisted of seven battalions. A further three were raised during the war. Prior to the war, the regiment was one of a number that been selected to transition from an infantry role to an support role and be equipped with the Vickers machine gun. While most battalions served as divisional machine gun[a] or support battalions, several undertook different roles: motorcycle, searchlight, tank, reconnaissance, regular infantry, and deception units. The battalions of the regiment saw action with the British Expeditionary Force during the Battle of France, defended the United Kingdom, fought in the North African Campaign, took part in the Battle of Singapore, fought in Italy, and operated with the 21st Army Group in the North-West Europe Campaign of 1944–1945.

Tied Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 A 105 mm Self Propelled Gun M-7 'Priest' of the 14th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, 2nd Armored Division passes through Rue Holgate, Carentan, Normandy on the 18th June 1944. At dawn on 13 June, the 101st Airborne was about to attack the German line when it was attacked by tanks and assault guns. Two battalions of the 37th Panzergrenadier Regiment, supported by the 17th Panzer Battalion and III./FJR6, struck hard at the 501st PIR on the American left, which fell back under heavy pressure. The left flank companies (Dog and Fox Companies) of the 506th then gave way, and by noon the spearheads of the German attack were within 500 yards of Carentan. However, Company E (Easy) of the 506th, commanded by 1st Lt. Richard D. Winters, anchored its right flank against a railroad embankment and held its position. Reinforced by the 2nd/502nd PIR taking position on its right, Easy Company slowed the German attack until American tanks could be brought up. Reacting to an Ultra warning of the size and threat of the counterattack, Lieutenant General Bradley diverted CCA U.S. 2nd Armored Division (commanded by Brig. Gen. Maurice Rose and near Isigny sur mer) to Carentan at 10:30. At 14:00 CCA attacked, supported by the self-propelled howitzers of the 14th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. One task force of tanks and mechanized infantry surged down the road to Baupte in the 2nd/506th's area and shattered the main German thrust. A second task force drove back German forces along the Périers highway, inflicting heavy losses in men and equipment. CCA, followed by the 502nd PIR, then pushed west a mile beyond the original lines. The counterattack became known anecdotally among the surviving paratroopers as the "Battle of Bloody Gulch".

April 5th 1945. (Note. the partially dismantled deep wading gear to allow the M4A3 to move through deep water during the landings a few days before.) The 29th US Marines reached Chuda at 1200 hours on 6 April and threw a line across the isthmus on the road there. In its sector the enemy's destruction of bridges had been inept; frequently only a span of the bridge had been dropped or cracked. The engineers cut hasty bypasses for the vehicles, repairing the broken spans later. Behind reconnaissance units and tanks the 29th Marines advanced on 7 April into Nago, a medium-sized town nestling in the deep bend where Motobu juts out westward from the island. A spearhead drove north to Taira, cutting Motobu off from the rest of Okinawa; other troops started west from Nago along the coast road to Awa. Here for the first time there was evidence that he troops were meeting not stragglers but outposts of an organized defense, for the marines became involved in a few small fire fights and met some organized rifle fire. They had reached Motobu Peninsula, which for some time was to be the focus of the III Amphibious Corps' effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no M4A3 105, it's just an M4A3 75mm wet hull Sherman, the ultimate final production 75mm Sherman, you can just make out the oval loaders hatch. The all-around vision cupola is a give away as well. This tank was most likely made by Fisher; it is not a CDA tank (Chrysler), the only ones to make the 105 tanks, because it has non 'fancy' sprockets. The gun also looks like a M3 75mm gun, since it has a clear taper and flare at the end. Also, I'm not 100% sure on this, but I don't think the Marines got 105 tanks until post war.
