Roque, Sgt Leo, and Larry, thanks for the info!
I'm a nincompoop, but you've probably figured that out by now! 
and screwed up putting the other photo on.
Here it is. Anzio??? somwhere it Italy?
Roque - I'll have to find one of my Dad's letters from N. Africa
where he writes home: "this place is overrun with Arabs stealing everything!!".
Sgt Leo - I don't know when Dad got his combat boots. The Salerno
pictures show him still in leggings from N. Africa. In
France, he still had the lightweight uniform everybody was issued
for N Africa/ Italy. I guess the Army couldn't keep up with it's
Campaigns. Maybe nobody understood that it gets COLD in Italy
in the mountains in winter and COLD COLD COLD in France!
I have a photo of my father on christmas day 1944 and looks like
he's got a couple of homemade scarfs wrapped around his neck.
I think he was in Alsace.
