ItemCo16527 Posted March 1, 2010 Share #363 Posted March 1, 2010 This has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. My grandfather (far right) and two friends of his fighting the oft-forgotten Battle of Chicago, 1943. Yes, the photo is really inscribed "The Battle of Chicago" on the back. I think they won this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Michael Posted April 14, 2010 Share #366 Posted April 14, 2010 That is a great photo and reminds me back in 91 I was working at a local ford dealership and there was an 80 sumthing gentleman that liked to hang around and tell his stories of being henry ford's cheaufer, being involved with dusenburgs indyy racing cars, and what a sumb&%$h Reagan was in France in WWII. Always thought he was spinning yarns but this photo made me smile thinking about old man McNulty. thanks for posting! Mike 2nd Lt. Ronald Reagan, ca.

Kaneoheboy Posted April 23, 2010 Share #368 Posted April 23, 2010 [ I was going through My G. uncles photo album and came accross this nice photo of two boys from Crawford Co. In. and thought it would be a nice one to share. The marine looks like he has a PH and has a "take no crap" visage. Mike I was sent these photographs of Angelo Papa atop one of two 8-inch twin-gunned naval turrets of Battery Wilridge (renamed to Kirkpatrick in 1946), a WW2 coast artillery battery on East Oahu. Both turrets had been removed from the USS Lexington in March 1942 at Pearl Harbor, along with two other turrets. Four seacoast batteries, Batteries Brodie, Salt Lake, Opaeula, and Wilridge were built in 1942 on Oahu, each with two 8-inch twin gun turrets that had been removed from the aircraft carriers Lexingtom and Saratoga. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custermen Posted August 5, 2010 Share #373 Posted August 5, 2010 Here is an interesting photo I obtained from a family of the Veteran. I used Footnote.com and posted a photo of my Dad and a buddy who was in his unit along with his name from GO's. Only 2 months later, the Veteran's grand-daughter found my photo and we made contact and exchanged photos. Pretty cool use of the genealogy site. Photo of S/Sgt Condon E. Davis and soldiers identified as Blaise and Cole(which I don't recognize as him). Photo was taken in "sunny Italy", near Lucca, in February 1945. They are members of Battery B, 328 Field Artillery Battalion, 85th Infantry Division. They are posing for photos after being issued the reversible winter coat(don't know the exact name of it). The guys fighting in the Ardennes would have really liked to have had gotten these coats. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
