29th INF Pictures?

Post by 1945Willys6202 » Fri Jun 17, 2016 9:24 am

Does anyone out there happen to have any photos of Jeeps from the 29th Infantry, 111th Field Artillery? I have a cousin who was killed driving a Jeep in an attack on Breberen Germany and he was a part of that outfit from 1942-1944 when he was K.I.A. I appreciate it if anyone has any to share! Thanks!

Look up VIXEN TOR, General Gerhard's here and on the internet. General Gerhardt was CG, 29th Infantry. This will get you started. :wink:

Thank you! I'd seen many pictures of that Jeep before and it is truly amazing how well kept and preserved it is. I was really hoping though that someone out there may have old family photos, or know of someone who has photos of my cousin's unit or of jeeps in his unit. Just for reference and who knows, maybe someone will have a picture of him himself! I've been told he was the kind to make friends easy.
