    When the 811th Tank Destr oyer Battalion was ac tivated on 10, Apri l, 1942, ourcountry had been at war four m onth s. Consequently, our c ountry and our arm y werenew to the ways of war - the cou ntry 's indu stri es were being gea red to the war effort,the arm ed forces were in the midst of an enormous and rapid expansion; new weaponsand equipment were being co nstantly developed, and improved or disca rded ; new tac ticsand techniques were being evolved and ba ttl e- tes te d. All this at a time when we werealready engaged in a death struggle in the Pacific . Efficient turm oil and organized confusion was norm al in those days when we were p rose cutin g one war while pre pa rin g fora bigger one. So, amid struggle and turm oil, tri al and tribula tion, the 811th Tank D estroy er Battalion was born, and its histo ry henceforth was to be one of s trug gle.

    To say that our birth was a struggle is putting it midly. At that time the Tank Destro ye r concept was a new one, known only to a ve ry few offi cers , and und erstood byeven less,, Conceived by the late Lt. General Lesley J. McN air, Tank De stro ye rs we re,at the time of our bir th receivin g the ir firs t battle tes t on the fields of Bataa n, wherethey were being successfully employed in the ir s econda ry role of self-p rope lled, d irec tfire art ille ry , repelling repeated Japanese attemp ts to envelop our forces by makingbeach landings behind our lines. Except for this brief, incom plete, and unconclusivebattle tes t, the Tank D estroy er idea had been tested only in two ma neu ver s, these inLouisian a and the Caro linas in the fall of 1941. So it was but natural that our birth wouldbe a strug gle, for Tank Destroy er doctrine had not yet crys talliz ed and Tank De stroy erweapons were yet to be developed. The react ion of mos t of us when we were ass ign edto the Tank De stroy ers was, "Tank De stro yers ! What's that?" Our first groping lessons,with the blind leading the blind, occured in the e nervating heat of Camp Gordon , Georg ia,where we conducted our field problem s afoot beca use we had no equipmen t. Then followed the hectic period at Camp Hood, Te xas , where we tri ed to le arn every thing abouteverything. Here our schooling reall y began, and our thinking really crysta llize d, butthe re were just not enough hou rs in the day to do and lea rn al l that needed to be doneand learne d. It was a period of organization and re-org ani zati on , of shooting and m arc hing and man euvering, of equipment borrow ing, of insidious insp ectio ns, un-p redicta bleweath er, "gumbo" mud, he artb reak , toil. It was here that many of us curse d the daywe were born, the ins pe cto rs, the in str uc to rs, the weath er, and the never-en ding toil.But it was here that the outfit re ally became of age , for we gained a sp iri t and elan, aconfidence and dash that henceforth nev er left u s, and frequen tly stood us in good st ead .There followed a two month vacation in Camp Carson , Colorado, where we celeb ratedour first b irthday . Then began our trek to the Arizon a de se rt, destination Yuma. Therethe orga inzation shook out the kinks and irone d out the rough spo ts, and became, tru ly"organized for com bat. " There we took a post graduate course in tac tic s, became ha rdened to physical and me ntal hardshi p, endured the heat and sand, convinced ours elve sthat we could fight, and whip, anything, and, in our spar e tim e, "invaded" me xic o.Then we were off again, this time to Camp G rub er, Oklahoma - we we re t ru ly a "Gypsy"outfit. There followed Louisiana M aneuv ers, Camp Claiborn e, Lo uisiana, Camp Livinston, Louisiana, where we observed our second birthd ay, and then, finally, POE - Camp Miles Standish and Boston, M ass ach use tts. We were on our way.

    Since 2 March 1943, when it was my p rivile ge and honor to ass um e comm and ofthis batta lion , it has been my aim and single ambition to field a team that could per for mefficiently under any circu ms tanc es and against all com ers . Money play ers w ere wanted - men who would deliv er when the chips w ere down. In ord er to acc om plish th is ,

    two things were necessary;first, every member of the battalion had to believe that hewas the bes t soldi er, in the bes t outfit, in the bes t arm y in the world; second, thisbelief in himself and his outfit had to be reason ably subs tantiated by fact. The proudand enviable rec or d obtained by this battalio n on the battlefields of Luxembourg, Be lgium, Ge rma ny, and Aus tria , stands as mute evidence to the wisdom of this policy,and to the success ful accom plishme nt of it. Working for d ivision after division, corpsafter c orp s, and arm y after army , som etimes as a battalion, usually by compan ies,som etim es by platoon, som etimes even by single guns, we never once failed to ac comp lish the mis sion assigned us, and invariably won the res pect and admiration ofour su pe rio rs . Even more imp ortant, we always won the everlastin g gratitude ofthose we fought with, the infantrym an, cava lrym an, and tanker . Such a reputa tion,can be won only by those individuals who have an unshakeable belief in them selve s,their outfit, and their God, and its pric e is inv ariably high, being compounded ofblood, swe at, and toi l. None of us will ever forget those dark December days of theArd enne s Campaign, when defeat daily confronted us, when we won me rely becausewe wouldn't give up. Who could possibly forg et, having once endured, the unbearablecold, the frozen "C" rati on s, the snow-filled foxholes, and the rampaging G erman ofthose days ? None of us will eve r forget when the tide turne d, when we helped relieveBas togn e, and continued on to reduce the "Bulge", wearing out division after divisionin the pro ce ss . Neither will we ever forget those trying days in Feb ruar y along theSauer and Our Ri ve rs, when we assa ulte d and broke through the S iegfried Line. Thosewere bi tte r days of un remi tting stru gg le. But our task was not ove r. Once through,we chased the Germ an acr os s the Prum R iver, through Bitburg, acro ss the Kyll R iver,halting only at the Rhine, just north of Koblinz. Then, having become ex perts in theas sa ul t of fortified positio ns, we moved south to Saar bur g, going through the Siegfried Line again t he re , and again continuing the purs uit to the R hine, this time throughSt. Wendel and Ka ise rs lau te rn to Ludwigshafen. The gr eat day cam e, 29 March 1945,when we began our cros sing of the Rhine at Mainz, for we knew we were beginningthe blow that would end the Germ an w ar. Pu rsu it was now the order of the day, andpu rsu e we did, with stil l some har d, spo radic fighting - firs t up the m agnificentautobahn to D as se l,n ea r which we liberate d some of our co mra des, captured in Decem ber . Then, after the su rren der of Kass el, turning south to Gotha, and proceedingagain up an autobahn, subduing Weimar, Erfo rt, Jena, and Gera enrou te,and haltingjust sh ort of Chemn itz. These are nev er-to-b e-forg otten , victorious days. It wasabout this tim e that H itl er's Inner F or tre ss gained promine nce. So south we wentagain, this time to Nurem burg. Then followed a period of relen tle ss , sle ep less , pu rsuit, the cro ssin g of the Danuoe into Aus tria at Braunau (Hitler's birthp lace), thefall of Regensb urg, and, finally, the su rre nd er m essage of the Commanding Gene ral,6th SS Pa nz er Arm y, delivere d to the Commanding Office r, Reconnaissance Company,811th TD Bn. , deep in the Alps nea r Spitale, Au stria on 7 May 1945. It was he re ,along the S teyr River, deep in Aust ria, that the war ended for us . We shall neve rforget thes e th ings , nor shal l we forget the Hungarian gold, the Ohrdruf conc entrationcam p, the bur ned -ou t, dead ci tie s, the mud, the dirt , and filth of wa r. And neve rshall we forget the pric e in blood which we paid for our magnificent ach ievem ent s.Let us ca rry the three battle strea me rs - - Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europ e-on our battl e flag with prid e, and, when we wear our Distingu ished Unit Citation, letus rem em be r that we wear it becau se brave m en in a brav e outfit were not afraid todie. As your commanding officer o ver the majo r po rtion of the existe nce of the battalion , I am si nce rely proud of each individual mem ber, and I am exceedingly proudof our battali on s' acco mp lishm ents. When the chips were down, we delive red. Ourfuture h ist or y is as yet unw ritten, but, whatever future h olds, I am sure that the jobwill be accom plished with efficiency, dispatch, and quiet confidence, and that ourefforts will be crowned with su cce ss.

    Thus, our beginning was pros aic and simple enough. What, then, was our hi sto ry,and who were our antec eden ts?

    The 6O6th TD Bn, from which the c adr e was draw n, was o rigin ally activa ted asthe 6th Inf. Div. Pr ovi sion al Anti-Ta nk Bn. , and drew its per son nel from the F. A.units of that divsion. The 6th Inf. Div. was activ ated 17 Novem ber 1917. It was tr an sported over seas in mid s um me r, 1918, landing at Glasgow, Scotland, Southampton,England, Le Havre and Cherbo urg, Fr an ce . The division occupied sec tors in Alsa ce,and, in late O ctobe r, 1918, it supporte d the 89th Div. in the M euse-A rgonne offensive.In November the 6th Div. relieved the 8Znd Div. in the V erdu n-su r-M euse Ar ea. During its stay in Fr an ce , the 6th Div. ea rned the nick-nam e of the "Sight-S eeing-Sixth",,due to its many hikes from se cto r to se cto r. During 1921 vario us units of the Div.were d e-a ctiv ated , so that on 30 Sep tem ber 1921 the 6th Div. passe d from the activelis t. With war clouds again settling over Eu rope , the 6th Div. was re-a cti va ted on 12October 1939. Its m ajor compo nents were 1st, 3rd and 30th Inv. R egts . , and the 1stand 80th F. A. Regts. In September 1940, the divisional artill er y was reorga nized asthe 1st, 51st, 53rd, and 80th F . A. B ns. , the 2nd and 3rd Bns . , 1st F .A . Regt. , be ing renam ed the 51st and 53rd F .A . B ns. Now, let us examine the his tor y of the"Fam ous F irs t Field ", our pre dec esso r once removed, for no other units in our arm yhas a m ore glorious p ast.

    The 1st F. A . Regt. was organ ized as such m May, 1907, cons isting of thr ee B ns.of hors e-d raw n 75mm guns. To organize this regime nt the W. D. had assem bled anumb er of very old and very famous orga nizatio ns. Proba bly the most famous is Btry"D", originally org anized during the Am erican Revolution as Po rt er 's Co. of Arty,thereb y becom ing the firs t arty unit of Washington's Continental Arm y, and pa rtic ipating in his cam paigns a round New York City In 1778. C losely following is Btry "E ",orga nized in 1812 as O gden's Co. , 3rd A rty R egt. , and succ essfu lly engaging theBr itis h at Stoney Point, Canada, during the W ar of 1812, and the Seminole Indiansduring the Florida W ar, 1835-42.

    The original 1st F. A .
