Canadian Salute[edit]

I think he was part of the team that came up with the unified Canadian Forces salute from the disparate service salutes... 76.66.196.218 (talk) 05:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notes on assessment[edit]

For WikiProject Canada I have reassessed this article as:

low-importance: While an interesting Canadian figure, I as a Canadian only found out about this man through the article. Does not seem to be necessary to a general understanding of Canada or Canadians.
stub-class: no inline citations, not much content to the article.

Moved from article[edit]

cut from article bottom and pasted here -- LilHelpa (talk) 01:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the February request for information about Tank Gunners and the U.S. Army in Germany. I've been working hard on an organic chemical article on the Birch Reduction. The present article is incomplete and misses critical references and results.

  But with regard to Tank Gunners, my experience is limited to my own. I was an 18-year old

in the 774th Tank Battalion, Company C, in Germany. This was in Hodges First Army. At the time we were at the Rhine and then in the Ruhr district. Being a tank gunner, one doesn't get to see much country-side. And we were not permitted to keep diaries; thus I have lost information about all the places were were except for a few - in Cologne (Koeln), Wurrpertal, pin factory location unknown, etc.

  Thus I could not write much of an article. I have a somewhat private description of what it was

like - how I joined my unit (four new recruits and a discusted tank commander who had lost his original crew). I've lost the real names of my tank members - "Buck" Rogers the driver, Willy ___ my loader, the Tank Commander whose name I'm uncertain about.

  Hence I really should get back to my Chemical Writing.

But thanks for asking. Howard E. Zimmerman 16:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

What model of tank did he command?[edit]

For Western Allied tank commander with the most kills I am surprised that this article is so sketchy. I came here hoping to find out what tank he drove that was capable of these feats. Instead we're simply told that he 'commanded a tank'. Well go figure... Henners91 (talk) 11:47, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He commanded a Firefly (a Sherman tank with a more powerful gun) -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 10:58, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
