Looking for info on Frederick (Mac) F. McCarthy. 41st tank battalion, company D. Mac enlisted at the age of 16 or 17 (lied about his age). He was from New York and moved to Washington state after the war, then ended up in Wisconsin. He was good friends with Manley Boss (Florida) and they are the ones who wrote the diary on this page under OUR HISTORY -> THUNDERBOLT UNIT HISTORY ->41st Tank Battalion, Company D, Combat Diary. I believe he made his way up to a Tank Commander,but am not positive until I can confirm with my dad. I was Mac's first grandson and am from Madison, WI and currently live in Minneapolis, MN. I Was too young to discuss much about the war with my grandfather who passed away about a decade ago. My dad is knowledgeable about his father's war efforts, but I would like to hear more info / any stories anybody may have. Thank you
