USCapturephotos Posted August 22, 2013 Share #528 Posted August 22, 2013 This is my Uncle, Randell Tarpley from Saltillo,MS. He was in the 70th Div., was at the Battle of the Bulge and went thru Dachau camp. Received the Bronze Star, was really fond of a 30 cal.machine gun. Thats a great shot of the Sherman with extra wire mesh on the turret. Wonder if that was attached so it was easy to hang extra equipment and such?

USCapturephotos Posted August 22, 2013 Share #529 Posted August 22, 2013 Another one. To the right the original owner of one of the M1 helmets in my collection. Hope you like them Ricardo.Hi Ricardo. I love the real photo postcard portraits of the GI's with helmets. Yes, I agree those are much harder to find. I have maybe 7 or 8 in my collection. Thanks for sharing! That format is starting to become a popular collectible in the WW2 photo collecting realm. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCapturephotos Posted August 25, 2013 Share #533 Posted August 25, 2013 Nice pics 355th! Thanks for sharing. I have been meaning to post some of mine on this forum but just haven't yet. I focus on GI snapshots holding their war souvenirs but have also started heartily looking for nice real photo postcard portrait shots. Take care and keep showing your great collection!

gauthieb3sxz Posted March 11, 2015 Share #542 Posted March 11, 2015 One of my best Tuskegee portraits. It's actually the original large format negative that I purchased when a photo studio in Ohio closed down. I instantly recognized him as pilot Luther Smith.

sfcmac Posted March 14, 2015 Share #546 Posted March 14, 2015 This is one of my favorite photos. This is PFC Robert W. Baker who was first assigned to the 86th Division, but was sent to the Pacific and assigned to Company B, 19th Infantry, 24th Infantry Division. He saw extensive combat as a rifleman and messenger and took part in 3-4 combat assualts including the first wave on Leyte Island in the Philippines. sfcmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAM.12TN Posted March 22, 2015 Share #550 Posted March 22, 2015 I found this image a couple of years ago while digging through my late grandparents papers. It's the only image I can find of my Grandfather in uniform. Another unexpected and wonderful find during my expedition was all of the letters my Grandfather sent my Grandmother. One letter was written on the back of one of his aircraft identification tests. I wonder how that got past the sensors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
