Watson sent me these today. Here ya go, my friend:

 

A PICTURE OF ME TAKEN OF ME FEB.25 1945, IN FLORENCE, ITALY.

 

THE OTHER PICTURE IS MY JEEP, WHICH I JUST GOTTEN OUT OF, WHEN GERMAN ARTILLERY SHELL HIT DIRECTLY INTO IT. THEN IT WAS RUN OVER BY A TANK. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE PLACE WHERE IT HAPPENED. JUST THOUGHT YOU LIKE TO SEE THEM. THE GUY STANDING THERE WAS AN ARMED GUARD THAT RODE WITH ME EVERY WHERE I WENT, NAMED CLARK, IS ALL I CAN REMEMBER. ROCKY WAS ALSO IN MY COMPANY 135TH BN. 34TH RED BULL DIV.
