Map of area of Germany my dad would have been

1945 | unknown

My dad was attached to the 1st BN. 417th Inf. Regt.  This map of the E.T.O. has my dad's writing where he joined the unit in March, 1945.

The circus came to town

1945 | unknown

I don't know if this was called a circus during 1945, but that's how I always identified these photos.

Various photos Germany

1945

Here are various photos of my dad.  He was a medic.  I am so wondering where he was when he was sitting on the grass with that top hat on.  And who was that little boy he was standing with?  What town are the houses which were turned into the medical facilities?

I do miss my dad.  He died Nov., 2005 at the age of 89.

Pate, assistant supervisor and editor 1st Lt. John Milliken, assistant editor T/Sgt. Clyde H. Horning. see http://76thdivision.com/417/history_417.html http://76thdivision.com/

Not sure if this would identify any of the actual places in Germany your father was, but have you sent off for his service records?

The "Germany 16.jpg" photo in the "Various photos Germany" story seems to have something on the fence in front of the house. If you can get a high resolution image of that photo on your computer, you might be able to make out what it is and perhaps an address that might be on it.
