This one came with a father son grouping. This is the father's unit and I like this one for the amount of written and visual detail:

But the houses are empty and falling down and yards overgrown. Robert

 

 

Hi Robert and everyone one else, love these ' yard-long ' photo's, thanks for posting all of them.

 

Robert , what a sad comment you added ( the houses are empty and falling down and yards overgrown ) the vehicles rusted, the clothes worn-out, the men faded into history, a proud unit gone with only a sepia photograph of rememberance. :unsure:

 

All things fade, sadly.

Here is one from the 37th. School Squadron, Capt. P.E. Jacobs, Commanding, Chanute Field, Illinois, May 10 1941. There must be 700-800 men in this picture. It is autographed on the back by 52 men.

This is 1/3 of a yard long. Someone had cut it up and made three framed pictures. Quite a bunch of men ready for war. Full packs and gear. Following post shows the patches. Robert

There were only two parts for sale in the Antique store. The third part the id'ed the unit was not there

Yup. Thats looks like thats it. Many thanks. Wonder if the picture was left intact with all three groups if that was a good chunk of the Division. I never counted how many there was but theres a lot of men in the picture
