This might bring back a few memories for the vets who fought in Belgium during the war. Sent to me by Jim Hennessey, 87th Inf Div. These were taken in July 2006.

Oops, looks like I have to do some re-configurations on the server. Looks like the new upgrade isn't accepting my jpeg files right now. Back in a moment...

Dag-nabbit, I can't post any images on my own forum. Oh woe is me! This is pathetic. I know someone else posted today, but I can't? Oh dear me...

Looks like HAL doesn't like what you're doing.

Or perhaps the Master Control Program is shutting down your access.

If you don't get those references the good news is you're not a nerd!

Okay I changed the elusive global permissions upload parameter. Viola!

Mare ,

It's been a while so I just read this post.

The pics are taken near the 1/327GIR lines .

The 87th ID was in that same area , more south towards Tillet .

I wonder if Mr Hennessy remembers the story of Curtis Shoup , who got killed after a heroic action in the battle for Tillet on 7 jan 1945 ?

He was the only MOH recepient .

Let me know !
