11th Armored
Division
1st Platoon, 41st Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron Mechanized
T-4 Sgt. Harry Saunders
This photo was taken in Austria shortly after Harry's part in the
Liberation of Mauthausen Death Camp on May 5, 1945. He is holding a German
Lugar in his right hand and a Nazi SS Dagger on his belt. They were both
taken from German prisoners at Mauthausen during the surrender.
If anyone is interested, I have taken some digital pictures of Harry
recently, holding the dagger. Also, some close ups of the dagger, which
Harry has in his possession. |
Mr. James Phillips, of Essex, England has acquired a WWII vintage U.S. Army armored car in Italy. He is in the process of restoring the vehicle to original condition. While stripping paint down to the base metal, paint markings were discovered that identified it as vehicle No. C-18 of Troop C, 41st Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, Mechanized, of the 11th Armored Division. These photos show the vehicle in
un-restored and partially restored condition. When the project is completed, we hope to post photos of C-18 in her original battle-ready condition. |

I have attached a photo of the 41st Cav. Recon. Squadron from Camp
Barkeley. I hope everyone enjoys the photo. Hopefully, someone will be able to ID the men! My dad
Tom Hughes is the third from the left in the middle row. Next to
him, fourth from left, is John Pfiel, who was killed in action. I also included
this photo of my dad.

We are always looking for canvas items/musette bags/web gear/clothing/maps to
display with the vehicle.If any members would have any items that they'd like to
see preserved and used, we would be honored to accept them. My address is;

Here is a photo of my cousin, Adrian G.
Liljequist, Jr., who was a Scout in Troop E, 41st Armored Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron - Mechanized;
11th Armored Division, 3rd Army.
My guess is that the photo of "Buzz" (or "Buzzy", as he was affectionately known) was taken shortly after completion of basic training in 1943. His daughter and I would welcome a note from anyone who personally knew Buzz.

Attached are photos of my m8 that I have restored to be a 41st cav
vehicle. It is a 1943 model.
I decided to use 11ad markings after meeting Sgt Joe Locsos who was
in the 11th. James Phillips (whose M8 is also listed on your site)
helped me get the markings correct.

Hi, My name is Tim Caughlin. I am the son in law of
Sgt. Frederick J Beckett, deceased 11th Armored veteran. He was part of the 41st Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron Mechanized, F-Troop.
I am unsure where and when this was taken as I only found it after he had passed away. It appears the plane may be a Heinkel HE, but I can't see enough of the plane to be sure.
He was truly the greatest man I've ever known,
Thank you,
Tim Caughlin |
