United States 1918 - 1945
Medal grouping of Sgt. C. White - African American 761st Tank Battalion


Description

Sgt. Charles (Chick) White’s group consists of:

A few nice fotos from 2010 with him showcasing and wearing his uniform with patches.

Various uniform patches and medals belonging to him. His paybook.

He was the machine gunner within the tank crew and served 183 days of straight combat within Pattons armor spearhead in 1945.

The 761st Tank Battalion was a separate tank battalion of the United States Army during World War II. The 761st was made up primarily of African-American soldiers, who by War Department policy were not permitted to serve alongside white troops; the U.S. military did not officially desegregate until after World War II. The 761st were known as the Black Panthers after their unit's distinctive insignia, which featured a black panther's head; their motto was "Come out fighting". The battalion received a Presidential Unit Citation for its actions. In addition, a large number of individual members also received medals, including one Medal of Honor, 11 Silver Stars and about 300 Purple Hearts.
