A general Google Search - Images - brings up this page
Of course as with anything, there are other pics interspersed in here, but it's a good start...

I am going to get the book. I am really excited about that. My mom says she thinks there is another album somewhere ar my grandparent's with just war time photos. This is the first I have heard of this so I am totally excited! I have visited Carl's website and it is awesome! There are a coupke of Battle of the Bulge sites that have been helpful, just with the same lack of 424th stories. But from what I do know not many of the 424th made it through. Thanks for the extra info! I am becoming obsessed with the hunt. It is addicting.

There is also a memoir by Edward Prewett on the 106th page. He and my Granddad kept in touch until my granddad passed away and then he kept up with my Grandmother until his passing.

Hello. I do apologise for not replying sooner. I do have the link for the yearbook somewhere, I would have to look for the link and get back to you. The photos for the yearbook were taken in July of 1944. My grandfather did come home in 1946, but not with the 106th/424th. To my knowledge he didn't attend any reunions. I hope this helps.

Hello,
Just a quick update since so many of you have provided so much input over the past couple of years.
While cleaning one weekend day this past October I came across a letter dated 1948 addressed to my grandfather in response to a letter he had written to the Army in a box of misc. papers that were from his father's house, I actually was ready to dismiss this paper thinking it was another copy of his discharge paper. Well to my surprise the letter stated that they were awarding him the CIB for satisfactory performance during combat. We submitted a copy of this letter to Senator's office, which a few weeks ago we received the CIB, Bronze Star Medal w/ certificate in the mail.
I feel very, very fortunate that I was able to stumble across this paper, since there are still so many folks searching for documentation. I wanted to take the time to let you all know and to post a picture of the awards we received.
Thanks again to everyone for all of your help and input. Have a Happy New Year 2013!
