SUPER SIXERS

This page is dedicated to the 167 men of the 6th Armored Division at the American cemetery at Hamm.
Three are on the Tablets of the Missing, and three are from the independent 253rd AFA Bn, which was temporarily attached to the Division for the Battle of the Bulge. To put things in perspective, the grave markers on this page represent only the men from one Division, at one cemetery, from one theater, of one war, whose remains were not returned home.
The individual photos of the grave stones below were taken on the morning of Wednesday, July 14, 2010, and were only possible with the assistance of my patient wife and two sons, as well as of Daniel Reiland, our guide and friend from the USVFL.
Click on any photo to see a larger version.
Names, organized alphabetically within unit and with links to individual grave stones, are listed below at Sixers Interred at Hamm
This site is not affiliated with the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), the wonderful people who maintain these cemeteries.

July 18, 2010.
UPDATE: April 22, 2012 -- In preparing for a visit to the Normandy and Brittany cemeteries, I discovered that four men from the permanently attached 603d Tank Destroyer Bn and one man from the permanently attached 642d QM Truck Co. were missing below. Both units were an integral part of the Division during their time in the ETO, and I regret the omission. The five men have been added, and their listings are marked with asterisks (*). Until I can get grave marker photos, I have provided placekeepers.
The names below are organized alphabetically within the unit they served with. Click on a name to view the individual grave stone or listing on the Tablets of the Missing.
If you are planning to visit the cemetery at Hamm and would like a listing of 6th Armored Division men buried there, organized by unit and by plot location, please feel free to down the following PDF: MEMBERS OF THE US 6TH ARMORED DIVISION INTERRED AT THE LUXEMBOURG AMERICAN CEMETERY AND MEMORIAL, ORGANIZED BY PLOT AND BY UNIT.
A master listing of ALL Sixers buried or memorialized in ABMC cemeteries in Europe is available at ALL MEMBERS OF THE US 6TH ARMORED DIVISION INTERRED AT ABMC CEMETERIES IN EUROPE, ORGANIZED BY UNIT.
(This section would not have been possible without the terrific ABMC database search page.)

| Note: The independent 253 AFA Bn was a temporary attachment through the Battle of the Bulge. Interestingly, the 253rd would become a permanent part of the 6th Armored Division in the 1950s in their incarnation as training units at Fort Leonard Wood. We are proud to include the fallen of the 253rd as Super Sixers. |
