Fighting Irishman Operates Tank Alone Near Veghel
A wartime feature recounts Patty McCrory's solo tank actions with a British regiment attached unit near Veghel on September 26 1944. Despite engine trouble he rejoined American airborne forces, helped destroy a sniper nest and 50 Germans, captured prisoners, and pinned an 88 mm gun until an American battery disabled it. Also notes a missing in action relative from North Carolina and two local public sale notices in Guilford County.
