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.

 Torretta Field was located on the
grounds of a large farm owned by the Baron Michele Zezza.
This photo
is from the collection of Col. Phillip Hawes, and the caption on the back reads
- "The old fellow is the baron".
Then we have the prince (Diego De
Vera d’Aragona), princess
(Livia) and
their son (Ramiro), Fritz and I and Caroselli.
Lt. Caroselli was lost in action two
days after this photo was taken.
