U.S. 7th Armored Division – Herbert A. Wisbey, Jr.

Herbert A. Wisbey, Jr. (31179433) was drafted into the U.S. Army during WWII and initially served as a clerk processing soldiers for overseas deployment. After service in England and crossing Utah Beach shortly after D-Day, he was transferred on 24 September 1944 to Headquarters, 7th Armored Division, where he served as a historian until the end of the war. Assigned to Division Headquarters, Wisbey prepared press releases, after-action reports and other official documents, helping to record the combat history of the famous «Lucky Seventh» during its campaigns across France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
