World War 2 Family Photos
My Grandfather, PT Corley, wasn’t in France on D-Day. He was in Italy, where US Forces had taken control of Rome a couple of days before. Not a lot out there about the war in Italy. I enjoyed Rick Atkinson’s trilogy if you’re interested in the North Africa and Italy campaigns.

what great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
There must have been many days overseas when he wondered if he would ever see Louisiana again. North Africa was no cake walk and taking Italy involved horrendous battle day after day. What a tough and resilient generation of people. Thanks for sharing.
These posts make me think about my great-grandfather and his stories of the war.
