Briney Patterson - military Man

The photo on the left was taken after he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Armored Infantry.  He was a tank platoon leader on the M5 Stuart tank.  It was not a very heavily armored tank and had a very small gun on it  and was not much use to the war effort. Most of the men who were M5 crew members thought of themselves as pop up targets for the enemy.
