DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE 101st Airborne SOLDIERS IN THIS PHOTO?
A 101st Airborne, Five-O-Deuce Paratrooper’s WWII photo album surfaced in France & was purchased as memorabilia.
Russell Miller appears to have been the owner of the album with photos of himself, family and fellow soldiers from his
502nd unit between 1943-1945. In this photo, Russell appears on the far right but no names are attached to the other 4 soldiers.
Most photos are not named making it difficult to contact them. Three photos of my father, David Clinton Tharp appeared in the album, photos we never saw until 2013. We have since added those photographs of Dad to the book, Comes A Soldier’s Whisper. The emblem was the 502nd PIR unit insignia patch. They were referred to as “The widow makers” during WWII.
If you recognize any of these soldiers, make the connection, so the photograph can find its’ way back to family or friends.
A Proud Airborne Daughter,
Jenny Tharp La Sala
History repeats itself & so does a soldier’s sentiments.
