Comments: I have a WW II picture of my father-in-law, 1st. Lt. Frank Abella, with a huge sign in the background which begins saying: You re entering Austria, courtesy of VI Corps and then lists campaigns in which VI Corps participated begining with Salerno. Where can I get more information about this? The family is interested in finding out about my father in law's participation in WW II. All we know is that he left the summer of 1943, served in Europe and returned February of 1946.
