Co. He drove the S-3 tank. He entered Herrlisheim with Major Edwards & Major Comfort along with 20 other tanks. He made it out of there, but several other tanks of the 23rd were knocked-out. A couple of months later his tank was knocked-out by a panzerfaust at Lohnsfeld, Ger. He & his crew made it out of that alive. My Dad was in the 23rd Tank Bn., Hq. Co. He drove the S-3 tank.

Cook was a TEC 5 while in the 17th Armored Batt., 12th Armored Div., Co.C. I would ask about the War but he said he would rather not discuss it. I have always wanted to know what he went thru then. He said his best friend got killed right beside him. My GrandFather was honestly the strongest man I have ever known but WW2 definitely took its toll on him. He had wanted to go to the Museum in Texas butbefore I could save the money he passed of Cancer on 7/23/2002. Its amazing those who went thru so much during War to have such a disease take them?

I read about it in the Hell Cats news. His Name Eddie L Bellett and he was quoted as this being the worst they had been in. He was in 18th Amored Inf. It took years for me to know he had been survivor twice, the second at Pusan. He got there the 1 st week of July 1950. This explains many things, He opened up to me after I had served 12 years, but not all. Dad had a tough battle. I'm retired 11B after 22 years but Dad out did me. They still don't get all their rewards. Or understanding. Bellett Jr SFC Retired I read this years after Dad passed. I read about it in the Hell Cats news.

He may have and it was so long ago that I don't remember. You know those guys had a very tough battle there and were lucky to survive it from what I've read and been told. The 12th. aromored was quite the group. They were known as the mystery division at times. James Jane,

Do you have any photographs of the the 56th AIB that you would be willing to share. I've been searching and have not been very successful in pictures of his unit. My dad's deceased also, and I'm planning a trip soon with my son to Herrlisheim. Thanks for anything you can provide. Louis Peter,
