CO Photo Album
Page 4
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.

Torretta Field was located on the grounds of a large farm owned by the Baron Michele Zezza. This photo is from the collection of Col. Phillip Hawes, and the caption on the back reads - "The old fellow is the baron". Then we have the prince (Diego De Vera d’Aragona), princess (Livia) and their son (Ramiro), Fritz and I and Caroselli. Lt. Caroselli was lost in action two days after this photo was taken. |

Why should Philip R. Hawes be so happy? |
