Marion, at last a Sicily veteran and one who played a part in one of the most famous stories from that campaign "the slapping incidents". I have gone to the order of battle in "Bitter Victory" and find - 45th Reconnaissance Troop (Mech). Does this tie in with Maynard Tanner? Are there any documents or photos of this veteran. I would very much like to have contact or hear more from him or his relatives. In a few weeks I will be passing the area the 15th and 93rd Evacuation Hospitals occupied in August 1943.
Colin.
