WWII Photos: A Soldier’s Perspective (Part 2)

March 5, 2019

We were fortunate to come across this large lot of photos documenting the life of one soldier and his buddies in the United States Army in and after World War II. He was stationed at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu, Hawaii in 1945, likely indicating his inclusion in the 25th Infantry Division (AKA Tropic Lightning) stationed there.
