Jim Sutcliffe and friends

H and D Companies

Hi Bob,

I’m going to send you some pictures. So I don’t bog down your computer or mine I’ll be sending multiple e-mails.

I’ve attached some of my dad’s photos that I would appreciate you posting on the 517 Website. I decided to sends these to you after seeing the photo that Elaine Berger sent in of my dad, and hoped someone would get the same enjoyment I did seeing one of their family members, Thanks Elaine!!. These men are from both H and D Company. I’ve spoken to the majority of these people or their relatives.

The attached autographs (517 Auto 1-5) and addresses have helped me locate a lot of 517 family members and the Troopers themselves. It’s been a lot of fun connecting with these people.

Lt Hinds, H Company. This was sent to me from his son Doug.

C Doty on sofa

Cecil Doty, same sofa that Carol Monkhouse’s father had his picture taken in front of.

The “Camp Standish” book was given to, I believe, the returning WW II Veterans before being discharged.

I think this is Herbert Downs, H Company. I sent photo to Yvonne, Herbert’s daughter and she was 80% sure it’s her father.

Dodds

Bob Dodds, H Company. Verified by his son

Dodds 2

Not sure who this gentleman is, but I believe the writing on the back was Marshall Felskes

Herbert Ford and Arthur Graham, both H Company, verified by Mr. Ford

Jerry Lavine, D Company.

Richard Huggler H Company on right. I thought that the man with the cigar could possibly be Chester Wells??

Jim Sutcliffe, H Company on left, George Korten D Company on right. Not sure who is in the middle.

George Korten, D Company. Anyone who has information on this man, I would be interested to hear from you.

George Korten, D Company on the right, and I think the man on the left could possibly be Haskell Reeves D Company

Jim Sutcliffe, H Company digging hole, uncertain of other man.

Jim Sutcliffe (left), George the Yugoslavian (middle), and Cecil Dotty (right) all H Company. This picture was sent to me by Bob Barnes H Company, thanks Mr. Barnes

 

This picture had the word “sad” written on the back in my Dad’s handwriting. I would imagine this man was killed in action??
