Eric Queen Posted May 31, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2021 Absolutely awesome photo !! One of the best I have seen. I have one of the PM wearing the JJ Cash & Co. patch in its original frame but unfortunately not colorized. Can you tell if your guy is wearing a US made patch? Seems to be but cannot tell for sure from the image. Congrats on a super find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guess US and seems to have benn taken around the time they were disbanded, gheeubg he may have gone to the 5th Div after his leave, but it’s only speculation, I wish I knew more. I see he has 1 campaign star, and it looks like red trim added to patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Queen Posted June 1, 2021 Share #8 Posted June 1, 2021 Thanks. Hard to say for sure from the image but I would guess US made as well. Killer photo either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted June 2, 2021 Share #9 Posted June 2, 2021 It's quite sad that this has not received more (any) comments as this, for a portrait collector, is really a special piece in my opinion. The fact is (and some may disagree or not like it) that (in many cases) the better/rarer the piece the lower the level of interest (forum response). I think that is in general, not just photographs.

Allan H. Posted June 2, 2021 Share #10 Posted June 2, 2021 Eric, I would not say that it is so much a lack of interest as it is a lack of ability to make a constructive post to add to the greater understanding of the membership. I have drooled all over my keyboard on both of these photos, but short of saying "great photos!" I don't know what else to add. I don't know who either Marine might be, but both photos are KILLER!

nchistory Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted June 2, 2021 Aznation sent me a personal message with a possible lead that I am currently following up on. PFC Jaskowiak lived an hour away in St. Cloud, newspaper article showed he was home in March 44, a month before date on photo. No sure how long his leave was, but it may have taken a longer to to fill the order by colorizing the images? His sister Irene lived in Minneapolis in the 40's, she was 10 years older than him. Maybe this is Irene and brother Richard. I'm currently looking for other photos of Richard as their are facial similarities.. This is a possibility. He was in 3rd Parachute Battalion, says he has a PUC, I thought only 1st had PUC? But that's a descreption with the newspaper article, not the image. He was KIA 2-19-45 IWO with H 3/28.

Eric Queen Posted February 21, 2022 Share #15 Posted February 21, 2022 I found Jaskowiak's 1939 high school yearbook on line. I just don't think it is the same guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
