What terrific memories for the family to share! Tech-3 was a technical specialty (like medic) equivalent in pay to a staff sergeant, but not in authority... the Tech ranks were temporarily used in WW2 for this purpose... you can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_enlisted_rank_insignia_of_World_War_II30Mauser, your pictures brought back some memories. My wife's father served in WWII and served with Patton is some manner. Her father was a field Medic assigned to a frontline unit (Tech 3?? Does that make sense, I am not familiar with this title) during the war. Anyways one of her first memories of hearing a swear come from her father's mouth was recounting Patton's personality!!!
Thanks for the good laugh our family shared remembering her father while looking at your photos!!!
So nice to hear the family enjoyed a fond memory together due to these pictures... thank you!
