    I am researching LT Thomas Fowler, awarded the Medal of Honor while serving with the 191st Tank Battalion in Italy. He was one of seven Texas Aggies awarded the MOH in WWII. I am searching for a relative, friend or someone who served with him in Italy. Any information is appreciated.

    I know of a LTC. Herb Fowler with the 755th Tank Battalion in Italy. Wonder if there is any relation?

    Thanks so much for the information. If you have any information on where the 191st would have been from 1942 up until September 1944 it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again,

    Shirley

    You are very welcome, Shirley.

    I created a simple ten page chronology of the Bn from Sept. 1943 through the end
    of the war. It is in Excel.

    If you don't have Excel, I can convert it to pdf.

    I wish you all the best in your search, Andrew. It's a bit of a needle and haystack thing, but we've seen long odds beaten before on this Forum. You're taking the right approach by getting his name on the internet. Hopefully, someone will do a search and connect with you. Do you have any other info on Sgt. Faricelli?
