WWII photos


In the summer of 2008, I posted a letter in Army Motors looking for parts for my Long Tom. I received an email from a man by the name of Larry Hanke. Although he didn't have any parts for me, he included these photos in the email. He gave me permission to share them with you. He received them from his father before he passed away. His father was the first sergeant of this firing battery. They were originally the general support battalion for the 32nd Division Artillery of the Wisconsin National Guard. Due to the range of the guns, his battalion was sent to Europe while the rest of the 32nd division went to the Pacific. As a Corps Artillery General Support unit, they were involved in the North African Campaign and then up through the boot of Italy. Thanks Larry, for sharing these great photos.
