CO
Photo Album
I recently came across a photo album
maintained by the 461st Commanding Officer, Col. Frederic E. Glantzberg. I
have a lot of work to do in getting all the pictures ready for the website, but
I thought everyone would be interested in seeing what Col. G had as keepsakes
from the 461st days. I recognize some of the pictures, but some of them
need a little explanation. If you recognize a picture and can supply a
caption, please let me know. You can click on each picture to get a larger
view.
