Subject: S/Sgt Bobby Burell
Comments: Hello there,
My name is Ssgt Michael Grandjean, platoon sgt from the 3th tank platoon
B-squadron 42 tank battalion in the Netherlands.
For months I've been searching for S/Sgt Bobby Burell who is the
battalion master gunner, 1-64 Armor, 2d Brigade at the 3ID. Our unit is
going to be deployed in the southern part of Iraq for supporting the
Royal Dutch Army who are securing the area there. I'd like to get in
contact with him because I've read an article he wrote about Gunnery
Training Program after the lessons learned in OIF. I have a lot of
questions about working with tanks in the dessert. We do not have any
experience with that.
Maybe it is possibly that I can get in contact with him or somebody else
from 1-64 Armor so that we can learn from our tank colleagues.
I hope I will hear from you soon
Thanks for so far,
S/Sgt Michael Grandjean
platoon sgt 3th platoon
B-squadron
42 tank battalion
43 Brigade Havelte (North-West of the Netherlands)

Comments: I am looking for any information on Lawrence H. Fulks. He
served in WWII under the 3rd Army 3rd Division. He mentioned to me that
his Lt. was Lt. White if that rings any bells. He has just passed on, on
June 15th 2004. I am his granddaughter and I did get to record some of
his stories, but not as much as I wanted to, as we all do we don't think
time will stop and then it does. Anyways I would love if anyone has any
info.
I don't have my notes out but I do recall my grandfather stating that
the 3rd army was switched to the 7th army during the Rhine crossing and
he was apart of that. He also states he was under Patton for a time.
Please if you need more info I am sure I can get it for you. I
appreciate your efforts in advance.
