Thank you for posting the information about these men, Mark. I ALWAYS wonder about the men in any photos. I wonder who they are and where they are from. I wonder about who and what they were like, their lives and families "back home" ...
The date September 17th, 1944 really jumped out at me, as it always does now whenever I see that date, since starting my own research. ("Sept 17th" (1922) was my Uncle Ed's birthday, and also my grandfathers' death date in 1944)
Charlie, thank you for letting us know this.
