US Army 11th Armored Division two-sided commemorative poster, owned by a unit veteran
Object
Commemorative poster for the 11th Armored Division (AD), printed in honor of the division’s 46th birthday on August 15, 1988. It features colored depictions of the badges, shields, crests, and symbols of the various units that comprised the division, and memorializes the names of those killed in action. The poster was created by division historian Raymond (Ray) S. Buch, and heraldic artist Richard M. Crossett. Both men belonged to the 56th Armored Engineer Battalion, which entered combat in December 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge. On May 5, 1945, Ray and his platoon were near Linz, Austria, when another subgroup of the 11th AD found Mauthausen concentration camp and its former subcamp, Gusen. Soon after, Ray accompanied the bulldozer operators to Mauthausen to assist with the cleanup. While in the camp, Ray was able to film and photograph the scene, documenting the overcrowded barracks, the mass burials and the emaciated prisoners who were either clothed in rags or naked. After about 30 days, the 11th AD left Mauthausen and remained on occupation duty until they were inactivated on August 31, 1945.
