Some guys at ,what I believe to be, Camp White, Oregon, in 1943. A part of the company softball team.

 

Here's the whole team. All except one wiseguy trying to look somewhat serious.

These came out of a group I just acquired:

 

 

 

 

[338thRCT]

These are both from the US Army 76th Division around 1962-63. A training unit based in the northeastern United States.

Marked on Back Romano and Gunny Emerson, Apr 52. Came from a collection of USMC photos I got at a flea market. About half women, half men, some in Korea. most of the female shots seem to be at a camp somewhere in the US? Not sure about this one, looks pretty warm for April in Korea.

I was going through my grandfather's photos and found some to share.

 

The Battle of Chicago, 2/20/43. My grandfather is at the far right.

 

Training in Florida, 1943

(This kind of scene seems to be pretty common!)

 

Some more random silliness (January 1944):

 

My grandfather looking like a bada** with an M-1 carbine and a knife clenched in his teeth:

 

 

Hope these pictures gave you guys some good chuckles

[firefighter]

Those are some awesome pics of your grandfather.Thanks for sharing.The guy with the BAR is looking pretty B-A too.

[ItemCo16527]

Thank you! The other man's name is Donald Anderson. He was one of Pop's best friends while he was in the Army. Quite a character, too, from what Pop told me.

They look like trouble makers. Those were some of the best soldiers.

[ItemCo16527]

Pop had a ridiculous sense of humor, and from what he told me about his buddies, they all did, too.

[12thengr]

Ft. Lewis again, this time with Batt 'E' 148th Arty.
