CO Photo Album
Page 15
I recently came across a photo album maintained by the 461st Commanding Officer, Col. Frederic E. Glantzberg. I thought everyone would be interested in seeing what Col. G had as keepsakes from the 461st days. I recognize some of the pictures, but some of them need a little explanation. If you recognize a picture and can supply a caption, please let me know. You can click on each picture to get a larger view.
