My grandpa has been able to identify some of the guys from his photo album. Above is Sgt. Phillip Rose (from NY?).
Don Hartung (from NJ) picking up a Molotov cocktail left by the Germans on Utah Beach, Normandy. Souvenir hunting was prohibited, and for good reason. One guy was killed by a booby trap while searching for keepsake to bring back home.
T-5 Richard G. Krause from Milwaukee, T-5 William Kelly, and PFC Dominic C. Parise (from NY?) in the apple orchard at Utah Beach.
I don't know the two on the left, but the S/Sgt. is James J. Dolan, a friend of my grandfather.
Photo 17 all the way down is my grandfather Don Hartung, he died when i was nine but his image is still fresh in my mind. It looks exactly like him (but younger!).
