The following photographs were in a collection purchased by Tim Malone from e-Bay and were identified as being from the 254th Infantry Regiment. None of the individuals in the photos were identified. From the uniforms and backgrounds I am making the assumption that these photos were made during the occupation period of the 254th Infantry Regiment- May-Aug 1945 |
