I have this picture from Dad’s records and assume this is of Unit 4 Battery A since the lower left looks like Jack Foreman.
From Dad’s After Action Records Unit 4 of 467th AAA Battery A consisting of the following personnel:
- Sgt. Robert Stratman
- Cpl. Homer Brown
- Cpl. Max Mays
- Cpl. Tom Goolsby
- Pfc. (TEC-5) Bill Macker
- Pfc. (TEC-5) Jack Foreman
- Robert Sumpton
- Cpl. Russel Picu
- Cpl. DeLoune
- Cpl. Merl
- Pfc. Stanley Slender
- Pfc. Charles Hagen (a.k.a., the Barber)
This above picture is likely their M-15 halftrack. The M-15 teamed a 37mm cannon with two water-cooled .50 Cal machine guns. Ouch!
The above is a picture of Dad (Bill Macker) with Jack Foreman TEC-5.
Pretty sure the above is Max Mays who was deployed on the M16 halftrack writing a letter.
This is definitely Max Mays behind the M-16 quad .50 caliber guns.
The M-16 is the second halftrack in their unit.
Dad (Bill Macker) with chow somewhere along the Rhine River area protecting bridges.
You can see the M-15 dug-in with guns raised in the back to the left.
The boys in the snow somewhere (Dad is bottom middle).
Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands?
