Nice Signal Corps photo. Reverse states: TANKS AND INFANTRY ADVANCE ON ROAD BEYOND LONLAY L'ABBAYE, FRANCE. 2ND AMD DIV AND 30TH INF DIV.

The town name and units have been censored with blue pencil. Note the sniper bait standing on the jeep and the guy crouched down behind the tank- "Hey Lieutenant, stand up there for a minute and see if you can see any Jerries".

Found a few more. Sorry, these aren't overseas shots, but they show some of the life on the homefront.

This solo pic is of Sgt Mattys, whom they wrote this poem about.

This is of my Grandfather's Army softball team. Arrow is pointing to him.

These two are of my Grandfather and Grandmother, and men he worked with. Not sure what's up with the costumes of the two men.

He was Scotish and they look Italian....maybe that had something to do with it, maybe not, lol. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us to ask.

Here are a few pictures I just got at an antique store they are my first US ones, somehow German pictures are easier to find where I live?...
No writing on the back unfortunatley, they appear to be in the ETO

Officers in front of a field kitchen? First picture ive seen with a CS-34 pouch

Class A's in the field?

Looks like an air core engineer portrait.
