A much younger Albert

Grandpa was a part of Company H, 272nd and here he is with a fellow GI. This was taken in Shelby, Mississippi in May or June of 1944 right after an all night long training march. The soldiers were relieved that the 17 mile march was over and stopped at an arcade that took pictures. The chosen background is a fake bar scene perfect for GIs. Albert is on the right, but the one on the left is unknown. If you happen to know who the other GI is, then please contact us.
