Hello everyone. Wanted to share with you today these two photographs and a story behind them. The soldier on the left is my grandfather, Arthur Clark, posing with his Thompson. The date and location of the picture are not recorded. Ralph saw this photo right after we first made contact and immediately recognized it as one similar his father had in his collection. He sent me an image of this photo which is the one you see here on the right, the soldier's name is unknown, date and location are not recorded. Looking at the background it is obvious they were taken around the same time. It was a neat moment when Ralph shared this with me. Have a good one everybody.

How great is that?!!! Sam sent me copies of the photos that he scanned and there are 227 fantastic shots with possibly more to come! Thanks to all of you for your time and efforts as we continue to gather up each and every morsel of information (documents, photos, etc.) for the 292nd. Hats off to you, good friends!
