Fantastic! Look at all these great images from the war. Loved your, "...believe it or not Packmule training!!". Yes, it does seem a bit far-fetched doesn't it, but it did occur!

I love these personal pictures. You end up seeing so many of the same pictures from World War II even though there must be thousands upon thousands. Personal photos, however, are always new.

These are great! Thank you so much for sharing and you will really make someone's day when they start researching the unit and stumble across these! Too many great photos are stuck in boxes in attics somewhere.
