We mixed up the caption of this photo with that of another. They have been corrected now. Thanks for pointing this out to us!

US 5th Armored 'Regiment'? The US Army had a 5th Armored Division, and post-war, a 5th Armored Brigade, but I've never come across a 5th Armored Regiment in US Army nomenclature. But then again, never too old to learn something new.

The US Army Center for Military History credits this photo to the Army Signal Corps and captions it as being members of the 5th Armored Regiment, 1st Army. Other sources agree (or at least, repeat the same information). There is still room for this to be in error, but that is the best information currently available. Thank you for bringing up this question.
