The group photo on the left has a few names written on the back and if I am making them out correctly they read:
Pvt. LM Tarter
Pvt. Howard Davis
Pvt. John Lucas para trooper
My grandfather is the one in the middle in the back, Howard Davis. He could not recall the names of his fellow servicemen until I read the few names on the back. He could not remember the names of the other gentlemen listed.
Howard Davis is on the left in the second photo. There is no name written on the back...only Reims, France, November 2, 1945.
I don't know if the gentlemen in these photos served in the same platoon as Pap or not. His memory is quite fuzzy and he seems to recall the same stories each time we talk (most of them involve a pretty girl :-)). He told me he served in Company A, 359th Engineers, 1st Platoon if that information is helpful. Is there anywhere I can research that platoon specifically and view the names of those enlisted? Thank you all so much for your help! I would love to know if there are any of these guys still around!
