    Patton, an 03A3, and a Silver Star




    From the Silver Star citation of Pvt. Ernest A. Jenkins, Quartermaster Corps:

    Entering Chateaudun, Franceicon, August 16-17, before the town was liberated, Pvt. Jenkins and the officer he was driving, Maj. Charles W. Ketterman, located and knocked out an enemy gun position by killing three and wounding other members of the enemy crew. After silencing the gun, Pvt. Jenkins assisted Maj. Ketterman in the capture of 15 Germanicon soldiers found in a cave. Pvt. Jenkins was credited with assisting notably in the capture of the city.

    Looks like at least one 03A3 saw combat use.
