Here is a project I have undertaken in the past few years: reuniting WWII photos with family members.
My husband's grandfather had many, many photos (nearly 50) and now we have them. I took those on which names were written, and began seeking out family a couple of years ago. So far I have reunited one or two photographs with family members.
Hubby's grandfather was in Company A, 2d Med BN ARMD (I take this to mean 2nd medical battalion, since he drove an ambulance). Most of these photos were taken in Germany (Volk and Speckwinkle).
Who knows if someone might come across this blog and recognize a name, though. Here goes:
Joseph Scotton
Irving Sazoff
Albert Brandl
Warren C. Bailey
Robert Biggs
Chester Hester (yes, that is his name)
"Shag" Owens, Harnett & Cornell (only a nickname for the first guy; no first names for the last two)
? Monzelia & "Red" Herman (I think the first one might be a Philip J. Monzella)
Barney Harris & Bing (last name difficult to read - looks like "Grama")
Emil "Bing" again (Hrama? Grama?)
? Nermauger
R. Johnson (yeah, big help, right?)
J. G. Bell
? Dantona
"Pat" Pamplin (or Pomplin)
? Ferris or Farris
Capt. Byrnes
"Doc" Whitney
Rutherford, Leger, Bell, Karth, Tryon, & R. Johnson
Lt. Henry
Sgt. Blakemore & Moses
Blakemore, Fugua (?), Lt. Baker, 1st Sgt. Jurek, & Capt. Weir
Carle, Thornhill, Lt. Klein & Lt. Baker
Carle Cohen & Oliver Carter
? Rusboldt, aka "Russ" (2 men named Rusboldt enlisted that I've found; a Frederick C. and a Robert E.)
Sam Vitale & Capt. Byrnes
? Zigursky & ? White (2 men named Zigursky enlisted that I've found; an Edward and a Joseph)
Hopefully someone will recognize a name and be able to respond, and hopefully I can get more photographs out to family members who will appreciate having a picture of a grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, or great-uncle!
