"Since there is only ONE other photograph in the U.S. ARMY SIGNAL CORPS WWII records that is captioned as being the 814th TD this picture (which may be of British origin) is quite a discovery. Furthermore the picture shows Mr. [Calvin] BOYKIN and his crew in a replacement vehicle that they were issued shortly after losing their original M-8 on 23 December 1944 at St. Vith, Belgium."
Calvin Boykin sent (12/28/97) the following additional information on the photo: "Interesting how Don found the AFV photo on the dust jacket of Forty's book, then the Dorset Tank Museum sent a copy of the original. Can't say that I remember this being taken, but for one thing the crew is definitely mine, and the timing is soon after 23 December 1944, after receving a replacement M-8 and a new crew, except for me. Other original crew members moved to other assignments -- radio operator to company radio man, section sgt. to platoon sgt, and driver to Hdq to recuperate from a bad case of nerves. (The driver was older by 17 years than me at 20, so he knew more than I did what could have happened and what might have happened)."
