mbec Posted July 17, 2024 #1 Posted July 17, 2024 A friend of mine found these and many others in a house cleanout and gave them to me. They are official army photos and almost all are marked like this. I would love to return these to family members if possible so my question is is there a free website where you don't have to go through the whole background check thing? Most of the individual photos have the persons name and hometown at that time. I know its a long shot but I know if there were pics of my dad out there I'd love it. Also the first pic is pretty neat with the painted burlap helmet covers. Thanks for any suggestions Mark
