Gary;

 

I downloaded the image and believe my grandfather is the guy on the top row 15th from the right, however I also see things in the guy on the bottom 7th from the left. I just never seen my grandfather any way but smiling...he was quite a prankster actually. Here are the photo's as well as the military photo I have of him..(not great) with another photo after the war, I have been told it was not too long after.

Any one have an opinion?

Martha,

 

Wow, thanks so much for sharing! I can 100% put one thing to bed... the guy in the first row is definitely not your grandfather. I know this because coincidentally he happens to be my grandfather. :) By comparing the photos you posted it sure does look like your father is the soldier 15th from the right in the top row. Do others here have an opinion? How about your mother? What does she think? I believe I found an obituary for your great grandfather that mentions your grandfather and also a birth notice for you from 1963. Not info directly on your grandfather, but info related to him. I attached them to see if they are indeed related to you and your family.

 

Until next time,

 

Gary
