Hi Bill, I just used Google to find out that the 37th Tank
Battalion was part of the 4th Armored Division. There is
information on the web about the 4th Armored Division.
I do not know if they have a veterans association. Perhaps
you can search the web.
If you have further information that indicates that your father
also served with the 12th Armored, please let me know.
Our tank battalions in Europe were the 714th, the 23d and
the 43.

Also, recently we learned of another person
who was discharged from the 771st tank
battalion after spending the war with the
12th Armored. Men were reassigned after the
war as they were shipped home.

THE 771ST WAS A TANK BATTALION. Served after the war as a constabulary unit. Men who didn't have enough points to go home were often sent here.
