Hey Burt,

I have an extensive account from the 1st Battalion(A,B,C &D Companies),U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment, U.S. 3rd Infantry Division about a very successul operation on and around April 23rd and 24th 1944 called "Operation Mr. Black"(its a lesser known operation) in which the 191st Tank Battalion assigned several medium and light tanks to the 3rd Infantry Division to give the 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry tank support during the operation, unfortunately I believe in the action all 191st tanks were disabled.

If anyone would like to find out more about this particular series of operations I suggest either of these two books...

History of the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division in WWII by. Donald G. Taggart

or

The History of the U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment in WWII by The Infantry Journal (out of print) the only place you can find exisitng copies would be on ebay from time to time.

Regards,
MARNE
