But the' battalion can trace its

It was activated at Ft. Lewis,

theyl. were taught to work and
fight with the infantrymen. '

arly in the Normandy camnaisn.
Sent overseas in February 1944,
.Tha.tanks had been on the conU-
nent but a day when battalion
elements were committed on a
line from Meauffe to Les Mleux,
north of St L6.' Froi". there the .
push through France and Luxem-'
burg was just one fire-fight after
another with retreating -German I
.( armor. . ' .. . ; ...
Fresh from a forced, bitterly
contested crossing of the.Blles
vf with the 35th Infantry Dlvr-'
iion; the 737th, nursing heavy los
ses In tanks and men, joined the
. Red Diamond fighting machine on
Dec., 23, near Oetrange Luxem
burg, after racing 120 miles to
keep the appointment Taking it
from here, the 737th supporting
5th Division ' doughboys worked
some neat teamplays against the
lingering Germans. .-' ,
-Shortly after fording the Mo
selle river, the tanks whipped up
a short-ored but devastating am
bush for a surprised column of
Germans that approached the bi
vouac area one night. Alert guards
potted the column and" awakened
.tank crews, who climbed in their
"iron horses" and mowed down the
unsuspecting enemy. Another tor
rid battle between the tanks and
German - armor developed during
the Crossing of the Kyll river, los
ing only tank while capturing two
Mark ' Vs and destroying four
others. - V'-.Cu' r-
considering ail actions in its
nine-month combat record, the
737th Bn. has lost 66 tanks thru
enemy action, 58 medium, and 8
light tanks. One of the worst sin-
gie losses was wnen D u.; -
countered a slew of German tanks
vim a guiia wiuie Buppu
of the 3rd Bn. Five, tanks were
lost to the action. - .
r - The tankers netted their biggest
haul during the fighting in Lux
emburg, and with the loss of only
three men. The unit captured or
destroyed. 1 Mark VI, 1 Tiger Roy
al, 2 Panzers, 8 Mark IV s, 1 75mm
Howitzer- No tanks were lost and
only one man killed during the
t month of April. The casualty oc
curred during the celebrated cap
ture of Lt. Gen. Joachim Von Kor

The battalion is mighty proud
of its growing list of commenda
tions, being the first armored unit
in the Third Army to cross the
Rhine, the first armored unit in
XII Corps to touch German soil. It
has every right to be proud if its
esprit de corps.
' There are only about 65 enlisted
men and 20 officers who have 85
points or more under the discharge
point system, and the men, most
of them natives of Ala., Ga., and

over what as gone 'before and
wondering what Is coming next. .

DOGS PLAY PART
IN RECONDITIONING
OF DISABLED Gl's
Also Proving I Iscf i:l in Helping
Wounded Regain Health,
Place in Civilian Life
America's dogs are not only do
ing a great job on the. battlefields
of the present war, but are also
proving extrrn uinnrily useful in
helping wou.K'ed ana aisaoiea sol
diers to regain their health and
place in civilian life, reports the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
Communiques drifting in from
far-flung battlefrpnts speak of the
varied activities of the tens of
thousands of the K-9 Corps in
"cramping the style" of the enemy
wherever he is being encountered.
Newest use of the dogs in war
are as sled teams for evacuating
wounded personnel from the field
of battle. The use of dog teams
through heavy snow and in wooded
country on the western front has
enabled 12 men to be moved out
where only one could be handled
by stretcher bearers.
On the home front "Seeing
Eye" dogs in increasing numbers
are being trained as companions to

blinded veterans. Dogs as "living
hobbies' are also proving of posi
tive therapeutic value in speeding
the recovery and reconditioning of
wounded and physically or men
tally disabled men sent back from
overseas. At the Pawling, N. Y.,
Convalescent Center they are be
ing used as a definite part of the
services' recreational activities, and
at- Camp Ellis, 111., exceptional
success is being experienced with
a "Beagles in Reconditioning" pro
gram, consisting principally of Held
trials which give recuperating in
dividuals a combination of physi
cal exercise and recreation.
On the walla of tents and bar
racks, pictures of beloved pets left
hohinri are mors than holdklB their
own against the better publicized
"pin-up girls." Hundreds of hon
orably discharged war dogs are
again taking up their home ties,
most of them the better in man
ners, training and obedience for
going into service.
Sentiment is growing In many
places for some sort 01 a memo
rial to mark the contribution of
America's dogs on the war front
and the home front. Already the
Gaines Dog Research Center has
announced an award of $500.00 to
the person submitting the most
acceptable design idea or sketch
for a proposed memorial to be
raised In honor of the dogs that
will have fought and died in World
War IL It has been suggested that
the most appropriate place for
raising such a K-9 memorial wou.'
be in front of the Pentagon Bui'd
Ing, home of the War Deparfcnetl

The following letter was recen

pines: - . .
June 20th, P. I.
Dear Mamma and all -
Two letters from you yesterday,
first I've heard from home, seems
like ages. I have moved from
where I was and one letter was
over a month old but I was still
giaa 10 gei 11. 1 am in uic uei
place in the Philippines but it
lacks lots being what it was be
fore the war. It is. still the best
place I have been since I left the
states, although things are very
high and as the people here say
"very dear".
I was in the city a couple of
nights ago to see a show at an
Army building, afterwards, my
buddy and I went to a Cafe for
chow. I didn't see anything I
could eat except two eggs, two ,
slices of bacon and two slices of
bread. That was 3 pesos (1 peso
is equal to 50 cents In U. S. mon
ey).
I am glad you found out about
Cecil, although very sad; but- if
I was to crap out over here I had
rather be buried at sea. The Paci
fic is very peaceful I remember
when I was coming accross, the
water so blue and quiet At night
I would watch over the side and
it was just as if two streams of
fire were on each side of the ship,
(phosphate). And since then I
have flown over three . thousand
miles out here and I was always
thinking about Cecil and if any- ,
thing happened to me I had rath
e be buried at sea if I could not .
be at home, but there- Is Still a "
chance for him, I will never give
up until this war is over or un-
1 til I go back home. I get plenty
j to eat and a good place to stay -but
I still long for home, my
family and folks and pray I can
see all of you when I do get back
which will not be this year.
I am glad to know your crops
are early and if it was as warm
there as here you would have a
hard time keeping up with it.
It doesn't rain here like It -does
at home, it rains in sheets
Instead of drops but it drys off
quickly.
Have been thinking of sending
a few souvenirs home but every
thing is so high now will wait un
til later.
I was at the Red Cross yester
day and every State has the boys
names from home in a book so
entered my name and looking
through the book I saw a Henry
Rivenbark listed from Warsaw
also Babe Brow der -from Wallace.
The Red Cross has good coffee
and doughnuts so I reckon you
can call me a Red Cross Com
mando. My work is very easy
