Larry,
Thanks for this additional information . It gives me good info for further search .I am sure my Uncle was assigned under an armored command as I remember he went to tech school at Flint ,Mich before going overseas .This was probably at a GM training site for tanks and tank engines .From the info you have furnished and what I can find, he was probably assigned to a VII Corps unit, subordinate to the 3rd Armored Div.
He went into the army on 16 Feb43 and was discharged on 18 Dec45 .After his basic and Tech training, he went directly to Scotland and England before landing on Utah beach on or shortly after DDAY. He was never able to come home from the date of his enlistment until he was discharged .This,of course,was not unusual at this time in the war.It is certainly not as long as some of the men who went into N.Africa,Sicily,Italy and Germany and did not come home for more than 3 years .
Thanks again, you have been a great help .The links were especially helpful.
