The Patton Museum needs help
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: The Patton Museum needs help

The Patton Museum is currently rebuilding the interior exhibits. Some of the larger pieces will be incorporated into life-size dioramas. The museum needs information on one in particular, an M7B1 that is to be portrayed in the Korean War being evacuated from Hungnam harbor. Since the former museum library is now in boxes at Fort Benning, and have exhausted searches on the Internet, we are in need of photographs or other information that shows the bumper numbers, national markings, etc. for an M7B1 from that period. Information on the 58th Armored Artillery battalion, an African-American unit in particular would be great, but any M7B1 unit would be welcome. I'm hoping someone here may have the correct references in their personal library or could point out a source.

Thanks,
Garry

Hi Folks! Hi Garry! Checked my collection, I have a couple of shots from Korean, but nothing showing bumper markings. Sorry Garry, good luck with the project. Spot Report! Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S. Patton Jr.
