Skint George Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm trying to find a book about this battalion. I read it a few years ago and it had a number as it's title which may not have been 761. It was a fictional story based on their action during WW2. At least one character was based on the real "Top" Sargeant. It was a paperback, dark gray/black cover with three numbers as the title. It's a long shot but any help would be appreciated. Thanks, George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Maybe one of these? http://www.761st.com/joomla0/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=39&Itemid=48&showall=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skint George Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks Enigma. I've checked through these links but it isn't there. The book I read was definately fiction but part based on the 761. I'm running out of ways to phrase my book search. Thanks, George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skint George Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi and thanks Andy. This isn't the book either. The book I had was a paperback, dark cover with raised numbers as the title. If I remember rightly, the story started with the Top Sargeant getting out of his jeep on the tank battle ground and asking for a volunteer to help him get the body parts out of a battle damaged tank. Does that "click" with anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
