    Hi,

    I'm looking for information about the 738th medium tank battalion, particularly where they were stationed in the uk prior to going to Europe.

    I've done a Google search and found a few bits and pieces about them being in pembrokeshire but would like more solid evidence.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

    Also a long shot, but does anyone have a copy of the book written by John k brier 'one special tank battalion 738th medium tank battalion (special). It's out of print and the only copies available are in libraries in the US.

    Many thanks!

    Hello, I am researching my grandfathers movements with the 738th. Is there a possibility that you would be willing to share any of the information you found in you search.
