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:

  1. Sgt. Robert Stratman
  2. Cpl. Homer Brown
  3. Cpl. Max Mays
  4. Cpl. Tom Goolsby
  5. Pfc. (TEC-5) Bill Macker
  6. Pfc. (TEC-5) Jack Foreman
  7. Robert Sumpton
  8. Cpl. Russel Picu
  9. Cpl. DeLoune
  10. Cpl. Merl
  11. Pfc. Stanley Slender
  12. 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?
